  • Patent number: 8784512
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for forming one or more thin film layers on a substrate, to form a multilayer product such as a lithium battery cell. The method involves passing a gas stream comprising at least one doping agent and at least one entrained source material through a plasma; impinging the gas stream on a substrate; and reactively depositing the at least one doping agent, and the at least one entrained source material on the substrate. The present invention provides a method of fabricating a power cell having a plurality of layers, and a method of fabricating a battery by electrically connecting a current collecting layer of a first power cell to a current collecting layer of a second power cell.

  • Publication number: 20120104384
    Abstract: A thin-film transistor (TFT) includes a gate electrode, an oxide semiconductor pattern, a source electrode, a drain electrode and an etch stopper. The gate electrode is formed on a substrate. The oxide semiconductor pattern is disposed in an area overlapping with the gate electrode. The source electrode is partially disposed on the oxide semiconductor pattern. The drain electrode is spaced apart from the source electrode, faces the source electrode, and is partially disposed on the oxide semiconductor pattern. The etch stopper has first and second end portions. The first end portion is disposed between the oxide semiconductor pattern and the source electrode, and the second end portion is disposed between the oxide semiconductor pattern and the drain electrode. A sum of first and second overlapping length is between about 30% and about 99% of a total length of the etch stopper.
