  • Patent number: 7333804
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a mobile terminal transmits collectively messages in different formats, such as LMS and SMS. The message transmission mode is designated by recipient numbers and content is input based on a corresponding message transmission mode. A message can be transmitted to multiple destinations regardless of whether the receiver terminals are able to receive LMS format messages and regardless of whether the receiver terminals are manufactured by different mobile communication providers. In addition, the hardware of the mobile terminal does not need to be re-designed, since the mobile terminal can be implemented simply changing existing software.

  • Patent number: 7332755
    Abstract: A memory device includes an active area protruding from a semiconductor substrate. A recess is formed in the active area. A field oxide layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. A gate electrode extends across the active area while being overlapped with the recess. A gate insulation layer is interposed between the gate electrode and the active area. Source and drain areas are formed in the active area. The transistor structure above defines a recessed transistor structure if it is sectioned along a source-drain line and defines a Fin transistor structure if it is sectioned along a gate line. The transistor structure ensures sufficient data retention time and improves the current drivability while lowering the back bias dependency of a threshold voltage.

  • Patent number: 7332370
    Abstract: To effectively lower the current required for changing a phase of a phase change layer in a phase change RAM device, metal pads are formed on a semiconductor substrate, and an oxide layer is formed on the metal pads. Nano-sized copolymer patterns aligned with the metal pads covered by the oxide layer are formed on the oxide layer. The oxide layer is etched to form oxide layer patterns by using the nano-sized copolymer patterns as barrier. The nano-sized copolymer patterns are then removed. A nitride layer is deposited and then etched to expose the oxide layer patterns. The exposed oxide layer patterns are removed to form nano-sized holes exposing the metal pads. Bottom electrodes are then formed in the nano-sized holes. A phase change layer and a top electrode are formed on each of the bottom electrodes.
