A resistive switching memory device according to an exemplary embodiment includes: a first electrode; a second electrode formed to be separated from the first electrode; and an insulating layer formed near the first electrode and the second electrode, and changed to one of a high resistance state and a low resistance state when a conductive filament is controlled by a change of external humidity or a voltage applied through the first electrode or the second electrode.

Resistive switching memory device based on multi-inputs

Example embodiments are directed to a switching device of an active display device and a method of driving the switching device, such that electrical reliability of the active display device is improved. The switching device of the active display device includes a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) that are connected in series. Except for a refresh time duration during which the plurality of TFTs of the switching device are simultaneously turned ON, a positive voltage is applied to at least one of the plurality of TFTs of the switching device so that a reliability of the switching device may be improved.

Switching device of active display device and method of driving the switching device

Provided are a transistor, a method of manufacturing the transistor, and an electronic device including the transistor. The transistor may include a passivation layer on a channel layer, a source, a drain, and a gate, wherein the component of the passivation layer is varied in a height direction. The passivation layer may have a multi-layer structure including a silicon oxide layer, a silicon oxynitride layer, and a silicon nitride layer sequentially stacked. The channel layer may include an oxide semiconductor.

Transistor, method of manufacturing the transistor and electronic device including the transistor

A ZnO-based thin film transistor (TFT) is provided herein. Also provided is a method for manufacturing the TFT. The ZnO-based TFT is very sensitive to the oxygen concentration present in a channel layer. In order to prevent damage to a channel layer of a bottom gate TFT, and to avoid a deep negative threshold voltage resulting from damage to the channel layer, the method for manufacturing the ZnO-based TFT comprises formation of an etch stop layer or a passivation layer comprising unstable or incompletely bonded oxygen, and annealing the layers to induce an interfacial reaction between the oxide layer and the channel layer and to reduce the carrier concentration.

Method of manufacturing ZnO-based thin film transistor

Provided may be a Poly-Si thin film transistor (TFT) and a method of manufacturing the same. The Poly-Si TFT may include a first Poly-Si layer on an active layer formed of Poly-Si and doped with a low concentration; and a second Poly-Si layer on the first Poly-Si layer and doped with the same concentration as the first Poly-Si layer or with a higher concentration than the first Poly-Si layer, wherein lightly doped drain (LDD) regions capable of reducing leakage current may be formed in inner end portions of the first Poly-Si layer.

Poly-Si thin film transistor and method of manufacturing the same

A thin film transistor (TFT) and a method of manufacturing the same are provided, the TFT including a gate insulating layer on a gate. A channel may be formed on a portion of the gate insulating layer corresponding to the gate. A metal material may be formed on a surface of the channel. The metal material crystallizes the channel. A source and a drain may contact side surfaces of the channel.

Thin film transistor and method of manufacturing the same

Provided are an oxide semiconductor and an oxide thin film transistor including the oxide semiconductor. The oxide semiconductor may be formed of an indium (In)-zinc (Zn) oxide in which hafnium (Hf) is contained, wherein In, Zn, and Hf are contained in predetermined or given composition ratios.

Oxide semiconductor and thin film transistor including the same

A TFT includes a zinc oxide (ZnO)-based channel layer having a plurality of semiconductor layers. An uppermost of the plurality of semiconductor layers has a Zn concentration less than that of a lower semiconductor layer to suppress an oxygen vacancy due to plasma. The uppermost semiconductor layer of the channel layer also has a tin (Sn) oxide, a chloride, a fluoride, or the like, which has a relatively stable bonding energy against plasma. The uppermost semiconductor layer is relatively strong against plasma shock and less decomposed when being exposed to plasma, thereby suppressing an increase in carrier concentration.

Thin film transistors and methods of manufacturing the same

Example embodiments relate to thin-film transistors (TFT) and methods for fabricating the same. A thin-film transistor according to example embodiments may include a gate, a gate insulation layer, a channel layer including a first oxide semiconductor layer and a second oxide semiconductor layer, and a source and drain on opposite sides of the channel layer. The first oxide semiconductor layer may have relatively large crystal grains compared to the second oxide semiconductor layer.

Thin-film transistor and method of manufacturing the same

Disclosed is a thin film transistor (TFT). The TFT may include an intermediate layer between a channel and a source and drain. An increased off current, which may occur to a drain area of the TFT, is reduced due to the intermediate layer. Accordingly, the TFT may be stably driven.

A display device including an oxide semiconductor thin film transistor is provided. The display device includes at least one thin film transistor, and at least one storage capacitor. The storage capacitor includes a storage electrode formed of a transparent oxide semiconductor, and a pixel electrode over the storage electrode. The pixel electrode may be separated from the storage electrode by a desired distance.

Display devices including an oxide semiconductor thin film transistor

Oxide semiconductor thin film transistors (TFT) and methods of manufacturing the same are provided. The methods include forming a channel layer on a substrate, forming source and drain electrodes at opposing sides of the channel layer, and oxidizing a surface of the channel layer by placing an oxidizing material in contact with the surface of the channel layer, reducing carriers on the surface of the channel layer. Due to the oxidizing agent treatment of the surface of the channel layer, excessive carriers that are generated naturally, or during the manufacturing process, may be more effectively controlled.

Oxide semiconductor thin film transistors and fabrication methods thereof

In a method of forming a polysilicon film, a thin film transistor including a polysilicon film, and a method of manufacturing a thin film transistor including a polysilicon film, the thin film transistor includes a substrate, a first heat conduction film on the substrate, a second heat conduction film adjacent to the first heat conduction film, the second heat conduction film having a lower thermal conductivity than the first heat conduction film, a polysilicon film on the second heat conduction film and the first heat conduction film adjacent to the second heat conduction film, and a gate stack on the polysilicon film. The second heat conduction film may either be on the first heat conduction film or, alternatively, the first heat conduction film may be non-contiguous and the second heat conduction film may be interposed between portions of the non-contiguous first heat conduction film.
