  • Publication number: 20120146121
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having a line-type active region and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes an active region configured in a successive line type, at least one active gate having a first width and crossing the active region, and an isolation gate having a second width different from the first width and being formed between the active gates.

  • Publication number: 20110248339
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises forming a buried gate after forming an active region to have a line type. The buried gate comprises an operation gate and a non-operation gate. A height of a gate electrode layer (conductive material) of the non-operation gate is formed to be lower than that of a gate electrode layer of the operation gate, thereby increasing a threshold voltage and preventing an overlap of the ion-implanted active region with the non-operation gate. As a result, a Gate Induced Drain Leakage (GIDL) is prevented to improve a refresh characteristic of the semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 7838098
    Abstract: Disclosed are a vacuum insulation panel and an insulation structure of a refrigerator using the same. The vacuum insulation panel comprises a core material formed by gather glass fiber, a getter having a container to receive an absorbent having quicklime of 90 wt % or greater as a main component, and a sealing cover formed to surround the core material and the getter. The core material can be formed at low cost in such a manner that glass fiber is tangled and gathered by penetrating glass wool having glass fiber using a needle. Since the getter is made of quicklime that can first remove water corresponding to a main component of the absorbent, the getter can be manufactured at low cost and has improved insulation efficiency.
