Taichi Endo has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10032918
    Abstract: A highly reliable semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first barrier insulating film; a first gate electrode thereover; a first gate insulating film thereover; an oxide semiconductor film thereover; source and drain electrodes over the oxide semiconductor film; a second gate insulating film over the oxide semiconductor film; a second gate electrode over the second gate insulating film; a second barrier insulating film that covers the oxide semiconductor film, the source and the drain electrodes, and the second gate electrode, and is in contact with side surfaces of the oxide semiconductor film and the source and drain electrodes; and a third barrier insulating film thereover. The first to third barrier insulating films are less likely to transmit hydrogen, water, and oxygen than the first and second gate insulating films. The third barrier insulating film is thinner than the second barrier insulating film.

  • Patent number: 8415228
    Abstract: To provide a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device in which, even when the semiconductor device is formed over an SOI substrate which uses a glass substrate, an insulating film and a semiconductor film over the glass substrate are not peeled by stress applied by a conductive film in formation of the conductive film for forming a gate electrode.

  • Publication number: 20110287593
    Abstract: An object is to provide a method for forming an oxide semiconductor film with little variation in electrical characteristics. Another object is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor film with little variation in electrical characteristics. To reduce the amount of light scattered by a substrate stage or the amount of the scattered light which travels to enter a light-transmitting oxide semiconductor layer when the light-transmitting oxide semiconductor layer is patterned, a layer having a function of preventing light transmission may be provided in a lower layer than a photoresist layer so that light does not reach the substrate stage. In addition, a semiconductor device may be manufactured using the oxide semiconductor layer formed by the above patterning method.

  • Patent number: 7470621
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that can suppress generation of a crack and peeling in a resin BM and deterioration of coverage of an upper layer of the resin BM, even if a black resin is used as a material of the resin BM in order to improve a contrast of brightness and a contrast of color.
