  • Publication number: 20240088291
    Abstract: A transistor includes an insulating layer, a source region, a drain region, a channel layer, a ferroelectric layer, and a gate electrode. The source region and the drain region are respectively disposed on and in physical contact with two opposite sidewalls of the insulating layer. A thickness of the source region, a thickness of the drain region, and a thickness of the insulating layer are substantially the same. The channel layer is disposed on the insulating layer, the source region, and the drain region. The ferroelectric layer is disposed over the channel layer. The gate electrode is disposed on the ferroelectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20120097246
    Abstract: A solar cell includes a crystalline semiconductor substrate; a first crystalline semiconductor layer; an amorphous semiconductor layer; a first metal electrode layer and a second metal electrode layer. The crystalline semiconductor substrate has a first surface and a second surface, and the crystalline semiconductor substrate has a first doped type. The first crystalline semiconductor layer is disposed on the first surface of the crystalline semiconductor substrate, where the first crystalline semiconductor layer has a second doped type contrary to the first doped type. The amorphous semiconductor layer is disposed on the first crystalline semiconductor layer, and the amorphous semiconductor layer has the second doped type. The first metal electrode layer is disposed on the amorphous semiconductor layer. The second metal electrode layer is disposed on the second surface of the crystalline semiconductor substrate.
