  • Publication number: 20110193083
    Abstract: A thin film transistor (TFT) using an oxide semiconductor as an active layer, a method of manufacturing the TFT, and a flat panel display device having the TFT include source and drain electrodes formed on a substrate; an active layer formed of an oxide semiconductor disposed on the source and drain electrodes; a gate electrode; and an interfacial stability layer formed on at least one of top and bottom surfaces of the active layer. In the TFT, the interfacial stability layer is formed of an oxide having a band gap of 3.0 to 8.0eV. Since the interfacial stability layer has the same characteristics as a gate insulating layer and a passivation layer, chemically high interface stability is maintained. Since the interfacial stability layer has a band gap equal to or greater than that of the active layer, charge trapping is physically prevented.

  • Patent number: 5875026
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed in which the local variation of an extended radiation source is monitored with single-element detector. The chromatic aberration of the imaging optics induces the different transmittance curves for different wavelengths, and the different shape in the transmittance curve is used as a spatial filter which is multiplied to the chromatic intensity profile of the extended radiation source to detect the local variation in the intensity profile of the extended radiation source. The signal processing of the chromatic signals is implemented to detect the size variation and the environmental effects on the extended radiation source. A fiber is also used for remote operation.

  • Patent number: 5661745
    Abstract: A method for generating high peak power pulses in lamp pumped continuous lasers by current mixing is disclosed, in which three kinds of oscillations, i.e., pure continuous wave laser oscillation, pure pulse laser oscillation and mixed laser oscillation of continuous wave and pulse lasers are attained without replacing any internal components of the laser. The current mixing is implemented by combining a high peak pulse current from pulse mode power supply and a DC current from the continuous wave laser power supply directly with isolating diodes, whereby a high peak power pulse equivalent to several scores of times the output of a continuous wave laser is simultaneously obtained.
