Yoshihiko Chida 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: 5834796
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an amorphous silicon thin film transistor. The transistor includes a substrate, a gate electrode formed on the substrate, an insulating film formed on the substrate, a hydrogenated amorphous silicon film formed on the insulating film, a non-doped microcrystal silicon film formed on the amorphous silicon film; and source and drain electrodes which are formed on the microcrystal silicon film. In the transistor, there is provided an ohmic contact between the source and drain electrodes through the microcrystal silicon film. The insulating film optionally has an etched surface layer prepared by etching the insulating film which has been formed on the substrate, with an aqueous solution containing HF. The TFT can be produced in a simple manner with safety and with a simple equipment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 1996
    Date of Patent: November 10, 1998
    Assignees: Central Glass Company, Limited, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology
    Inventors: Akihisa Matsuda, Michio Kondo, Yoshihiko Chida
