Zengxia Mei 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: 11322622
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a flexible high voltage thin film transistor (f-HVTFT) with a center-symmetric circular configuration. The f-HVTFT includes a ring-shaped oxide semiconductor channel, a ring-shaped gate, a ring-shaped source, and a circular drain. The source and gate each have multiple connections to respective electrode pads, enabling stable and identical electrical characteristics and blocking voltage while the f-HVTFT is subject to bending from random directions. The f-HVTFT enables a high blocking voltage over 100 V, on-current over 100 ?A, and low off-current of 0.1 pA, which makes it suitable for power management of self-powered wearable electronic systems.

  • Patent number: 10749016
    Abstract: The present invention provides a preparation method for a fully-transparent thin film transistor, wherein a transparent conductive gate electrode layer of the fully-transparent thin film transistor is used as a photolithographic mask, a photoresist is exposed through a rear surface of a transparent substrate, the transparent substrate has a transmittance higher than 60% to an exposure light beam, and the transparent conductive gate electrode layer has a transmittance lower than 5% to the exposure light beam. In the preparation method for a fully-transparent thin film transistor provided by the present invention, by using a self-aligned technology, the process complexity and the feature size of the device can both be reduced.
