  • Patent number: 12224340
    Abstract: A heterojunction semiconductor device with a low on-resistance includes a metal drain electrode, a substrate, and a buffer layer. A current blocking layer is arranged in the buffer layer, a gate structure is arranged on the buffer layer, and the gate structure comprises a metal gate electrode, GaN pillars and AlGaN layers, wherein a metal source electrode is arranged above the metal gate electrode; and the current blocking layer comprises multiple levels of current blocking layers, the centers of symmetry of the layers are collinear, and annular inner openings of the current blocking layers at all levels gradually become smaller from top to bottom. The AlGaN layers and the GaN pillars are distributed in a honeycomb above the buffer layer.

  • Patent number: 10205195
    Abstract: Electrochemical cells having molten electrodes having an alkali metal provide receipt and delivery of power by transporting atoms of the alkali metal between electrode environments of disparate chemical potentials through an electrochemical pathway comprising a salt of the alkali metal. The chemical potential of the alkali metal is decreased when combined with one or more non-alkali metals, thus producing a voltage between an electrode comprising the molten alkali metal and the electrode comprising the combined alkali/non-alkali metals.
