Samsung patents transistor using tellurium, selenium, and oxygen
Samsung describes a semiconductor device that uses a specific mix of tellurium, selenium, and oxygen to form the channel part of a transistor. This channel sits between source and drain electrodes, with a gate electrode controlling the flow of electricity through the material.
In the filing’s own words
Provided are semiconductor devices, electronic devices including the same, and methods of manufacturing the semiconductor device. A semiconductor device includes a channel, a source electrode electrically connected to the channel, a drain electrode electrically connected to the channel and spaced apart from the source electrode, a gate insulating layer on the channel, and a gate electrode on the gate insulating layer, wherein the channel includes Te a Se b O c (a+b+c=100, 40≤a<100, 0<b≤30, and 0<c≤30).
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a channel; a source electrode electrically connected to the channel; a drain electrode electrically connected to the channel and spaced apart from the source electrode; a gate insulating layer on the channel; and a gate electrode on the gate insulating layer, wherein the channel includes Te a Se b O c (a+b+c=100, 40≤a<100, 0<b≤30, and 0<c≤30).
