Date of Patent: Nov. 18, 2008
Inventors: Tatsuya Iwasaki
A thin-film transistor consists of an oxide semiconductor channel layer that is transparent to visible light and has a refractive index of nx. There’s a gate-insulating layer on one side of the channel layer and a transparent layer with a refractive index of nt on the other side. In this design, nx is greater than nt.
A thin-film transistor includes a substrate with a refractive index of no. On top of the substrate, there’s a transparent layer with a refractive index of nt, and then a channel layer with a refractive index of nx. In this case, the relationship is nx>nt>no.

Date of Patent: Aug. 12, 2008
Inventors: Ayanori Endo, Ryo Hayashi, Tatsuya Iwasaki.
Method for manufacturing a field-effect transistor:
- Form source and drain electrodes containing hydrogen/deuterium.
- Create an oxide semiconductor layer with decreased electrical resistance by adding hydrogen/deuterium.
- Allow hydrogen/deuterium diffusion from electrodes to the oxide semiconductor layer.
