  • Publication number: 20080299702
    Abstract: A ZnO-based thin film transistor (TFT) is provided herein. Also provided is a method for manufacturing the TFT. The ZnO-based TFT is very sensitive to the oxygen concentration present in a channel layer. In order to prevent damage to a channel layer of a bottom gate TFT, and to avoid a deep negative threshold voltage resulting from damage to the channel layer, the method for manufacturing the ZnO-based TFT comprises formation of an etch stop layer or a passivation layer comprising unstable or incompletely bonded oxygen, and annealing the layers to induce an interfacial reaction between the oxide layer and the channel layer and to reduce the carrier concentration.

  • Publication number: 20080283831
    Abstract: A ZnO-based thin film transistor (TFT) is provided herein, as is a method of manufacturing the TFT. The ZnO-based TFT has a channel layer that comprises ZnO and ZnCl, wherein the ZnCl has a higher bonding energy than ZnO with respect to plasma. The ZnCl is formed through the entire channel layer, and specifically is formed in a region near THE surface of the channel layer. Since the ZnCl is strong enough not to be decomposed when exposed to plasma etching gas, an increase in the carrier concentration can be prevented. The distribution of ZnCl in the channel layer, may result from the inclusion of chlorine (Cl) in the plasma gas during the patterning of the channel layer.

  • Publication number: 20080207230
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-mode communication system and a method thereof. The multi-mode communication system uses a first mode among a plurality communication modes for accessing a first mobility control entity (MCE) among a plurality of MCEs, and communicates data with the first MCE. The multi-mode communication system receives a paging request that has been transmitted from a multi-mode control entity (MMCE) for accessing a second MCE from the first MCE and analyzes the paging request, and puts the first mode into a sleep mode and a second mode for accessing the second MCE into an awake mode based on the analysis. Subsequently, multi-mode UE accesses the second MCE by using the second mode in the awake mode. According to the present invention, an MMCE for multi-mode control is provided to integrate and manage an idle state for each access mode of multi-mode user equipment, thereby minimizing power consumption due to access of the multi-mode UE to a radio access system.
