  • Patent number: 7737033
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to an etchant and a method of fabricating an electric device including a thin film transistor. The etchant includes a fluorine ion (F?) source, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a sulfate, a phosphate, an azole-based compound, and a solvent. The etchant and method of fabricating an electric device including a thin film transistor, can etch a multi-layered film including copper layer, and a titanium or titanium alloy layer in a batch and can provide a thin film transistor having a good pattern profile at high yield. When reusing the etchant, uniform etching performance can be maintained with a long replacement period of the etchant, and therefore costs can be saved.

  • Patent number: 7599684
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for setting terminal information using a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) include inserting a SIM into a terminal and automatically setting terminal information stored in the SIM. In accordance with preferred embodiments of the present invention, there is no need for a terminal user to set the terminal information again when the terminal user uses different terminals to operate the current terminal according to the terminal information, which was used in the previous terminal and set in the SIM, when operations of the current terminal require the same, such as when the current terminal displays data. Thus, the terminal information that was previously used can be directly set using the SIM.
