  • Patent number: 7365533
    Abstract: A system and method to detect angular rotation, linear displacement and/or surface deformations is presented. The method is based on the ability of a linear polarized light to interact with magnetic materials and to change its polarization angle due to Faraday effect. A basic structure of the system consists of a magneto-optic (MO) film with a two-domain structure and a single domain wall which are generated by gradient magnetic field produced by opposite polarity permanent magnets placed near the film. An AC magnetic field applied perpendicular to the MO film surface causes the magnetic domain wall in the MO film to oscillate at the same frequency. This leads to a detected output AC modulated signal. By measuring the temporal changes in this signal, information on angular rotation, linear displacement and/or surface deformation can be obtained.

Accordingly, it is possible to implement three current states, that is, hole current, electron current, and no current. The SB-MOSFET can be applied to a multi-bit memory and/or multi-bit logic device.

    Abstract: Provided are a Schottky barrier tunnel single electron transistor and a method of manufacturing the same that use a Schottky barrier formed between metal and semiconductor by replacing a source and a drain with silicide as a reactant of silicon and metal, instead of a conventional method of manufacturing a single electron transistor (SET) that includes source and drain regions by implanting dopants such that an artificial quantum dot is formed in a channel region. As a result, it does not require a conventional PADOX process to form a quantum dot for a single electron transistor (SET), height and width of a tunneling barrier can be artificially adjusted by using silicide materials that have various Schottky junction barriers, and it is possible to improve current driving capability of the single electron transistor (SET).
