Patent number: 8956890Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a Group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device wherein a p-cladding layer has a uniform Mg concentration. A p-cladding layer having a superlattice structure in which AlGaN and InGaN are alternately and repeatedly deposited is formed in two stages of the former process and the latter process where the supply amount of the Mg dopant gas is different. The supply amount of the Mg dopant gas in the latter process is half or less than that in the former process. The thickness of a first p-cladding layer formed in the former process is 60% or less than that of the p-cladding layer, and 160 ? or less.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Miyazaki, Koji Okuno

Patent number: 8921174Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for fabricating a complementary tunneling field effect transistor based on a standard CMOS IC process, which belongs to the field of logic devices and circuits of field effect transistors in ultra large scaled integrated (ULSI) circuits. In the method, an intrinsic channel and body region of a TFET are formed by means of complementary P-well and N-well masks in the standard CMOS IC process to form a well doping, a channel doping and a threshold adjustment by implantation. Further, a bipolar effect in the TFET can be inhibited via a distance between a gate and a drain on a layout so that a complementary TFET is formed. In the method according to the invention, the complementary tunneling field effect transistor (TFET) can be fabricated by virtue of existing processes in the standard CMOS IC process without any additional masks and process steps.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Peking UniversityInventors: Ru Huang, Qianqian Huang, Zhan Zhan, Yingxin Qiu, Yangyuan Wang

Patent number: 8012813Abstract: A three mask process for forming an LCD substrate includes, depositing in sequence on a base substrate a gate metallic layer, a gate insulation layer and a channel layer. A first photoresist pattern is used to form a gate electrode of a switching device, a channel pattern and a gate line on the gate electrode. A transparent conductive layer and a source metallic layer are deposited in sequence on the base substrate having the channel pattern. A source electrode and a drain electrode of the switching device, a pixel electrode and a source line electronically connected to the drain electrode, are formed by a second photoresist pattern. A first protective insulation layer is formed, and the first protective insulation layer on the pixel electrode is removed by a third photoresist pattern. Therefore, by the three masks process yields a simplified manufacturing process in which the lower portion of the source metallic pattern is not formed and display quality is improved.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Eun-Guk Lee
