  • Patent number: 8027294
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide an apparatus and a method for transmitting an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA) symbol in an OFDMA system. A bandwidth limit parameter for generating an OFDMA symbol may be adaptively determined based on the received signal quality of a receiver. An OFDMA symbol may be generated based on the bandwidth limit parameter and transmitted to the receiver. According to embodiments, when the received signal quality of the receiver is bad, the bandwidth limit parameter may be first adjusted before the modulation scheme is changed to have a lower data rate. In such a case, the downlink date rate may be maintained with enhancing the received signal quality of the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20110100458
    Abstract: A multi-layer thin film for encapsulation and the method thereof are provided. The multi-layer thin film for encapsulation includes a protective layer composed of aluminum oxide, a single or double barrier layer composed of silicon nitride (SiNx), and a mechanical protective layer composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2). The multi-layer thin film can be economically fabricated by using the existing equipment, and has a high level of light transmission over 85% while showing a low level of oxygen and moisture penetration. Additionally, due to superior adhesive strength between the thin films, and high resistance against impacts by heat or ion during a fabricating process, reliability of fabrication is enhanced, and it can thus efficiently used in encapsulating an organic light-emitting device (OLED), a flexible organic light emitting device (FOLED) in a display field, and the cells such as a thin film battery and a solar cell.

  • Patent number: 7585780
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises: forming an interlayer insulating film including a storage node contact plug over a semiconductor substrate; forming an etching barrier film, a sacrificial insulating film, and a hard mask film over the storage node contact plug and the interlayer insulating film; forming a first storage node region by removing a portion of the sacrificial insulating film and the hard mask film by an etching process such that a polymer film is formed at a sidewall of the hard mask film and the sacrificial insulating film; and forming a second storage node region by removing the remaining portions of the sacrificial insulating film and the etching barrier film, thereby exposing the storage node contact plug. The method prevents a bowing phenomenon in the etching process for forming a storage node region and thus allows storage nodes having substantially vertical profiles to be formed.
