  • Publication number: 20140217364
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method of fabricating an electronic device includes the following steps. An alternating series of device and sacrificial layers are formed in a stack on an SOI wafer. Nanowire bars are etched into the device/sacrificial layers such that each of the device layers in a first portion of the stack and each of the device layers in a second portion of the stack has a source region, a drain region and a plurality of nanowire channels connecting the source region and the drain region. The sacrificial layers are removed from between the nanowire bars. A conformal gate dielectric layer is selectively formed surrounding the nanowire channels in the first portion of the stack which serve as a channel region of a nanomesh FET transistor. Gates are formed surrounding the nanowire channels in the first and second portions of the stack.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to IR photodetectors with gain resulting from the positioning of a charge multiplication layer (CML) between the cathode and the IR sensitizing layer of the photodetector, where accumulating charge at the CML reduces the energy difference between the cathode and the CML to promote injection of electrons that result in gain for an electron only device. Other embodiments of the invention are directed to inclusion of the IR photodetectors with gain into an IR-to-visible up-conversion device that can be used in night vision and other applications.

    Abstract: A reflection organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device and driving method thereof are provided. A default cavity produces reflection light of a default wavelength through optical interference with incident light. When imposed by a voltage, an organic emitting layer produces self-luminous light for mixing, so as to change the wavelength of the reflection light and to increase brightness thereof. The mechanism helps improve energy efficiency of the OLED.
