  • Patent number: 11935935
    Abstract: A thin film transistor includes a gate electrode embedded in an insulating layer that overlies a substrate, a gate dielectric overlying the gate electrode, an active layer comprising a compound semiconductor material and overlying the gate dielectric, and a source electrode and drain electrode contacting end portions of the active layer. The gate dielectric may have thicker portions over interfaces with the insulating layer to suppress hydrogen diffusion therethrough. Additionally or alternatively, a passivation capping dielectric including a dielectric metal oxide material may be interposed between the active layer and a dielectric layer overlying the active layer to suppress hydrogen diffusion therethrough.

  • Patent number: 7367565
    Abstract: A balance plate intelligent game apparatus, structured to include a lower tier balance plate having a circular arc-shaped bottom portion and a transparent upper tier ball disk combined with a transparent top cover. A ball is disposed interior of the game apparatus so that when a young child treads on the balance plate with both feet and swings his body left and right, the ball is caused to roll into a helical groove of the upper tier ball disk from a helical groove of the lower tier balance plate, the ball then falls into a hole located center of the helical groove of the ball disk and drops into the helical groove of the lower tier balance plate, thereby enabling the ball to continuously roll between the upper and lower tiers.

  • Patent number: 7261299
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a game tool for jumping building block-based stepping stones, comprising a plurality of stepping stone units that can be independently placed flat on the ground for children to step on and jump. As each stepping stone unit is triangularly tilted, a top surface of each stepping stone unit forms a different inclination by changing the combination at a different angle, thereby enhancing the difficulty level of the game. Therefore, it is possible to superimpose and pile up the stepping stone units at a different inclination. Moreover, an anti-slip piece having a different pattern is disposed on a top surface of each of the stepping stone units, thereby preventing slippage and achieving educational and recreational purposes.
