Abstract:
For fabricating multiple field effect transistors (FETs), a first conductive layer is deposited over first and second active regions of a semiconductor substrate. The first conductive layer is patterned over the second active region to form mold structures. Mask structures are formed between the mold structures. The second active region is patterned using the mask structures or using spacers formed at sidewalls of the mold structures to form multiple fins of a field effect transistor of a fin type. The first conductive layer is patterned over the first active region to form a gate of another field effect transistor of a different type.

Abstract:
A plasma display panel adapted to minimize noise/vibration as well as a heat generated therefrom. In the plasma display panel, a display panel displays a picture while a porous pad is provided behind the display panel to prevent the transfer of noise/vibration to an associated heat proof panel. When the PDP is mounted within a case, a second porous pad can be provided on an inner surface of the case opposite the display panel and adjacent to an associated printed circuit board for additional noise/vibration damping.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a hydrothermally stable porous molecular sieve catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst consists of a product obtained by the evaporation of water from a raw material mixture comprising a molecular sieve having a framework of Si—OH—Al—, a water-insoluble metal salt and a phosphate compound. The catalyst maintains its physical and chemical stabilities even in an atmosphere of high temperature and humidity. Accordingly, the catalyst shows excellent catalytic activity even when it is used in a severe process environment of high temperature and humidity in heterogeneous catalytic reactions, such as various oxidation/reduction reactions, including catalytic cracking reactions, isomerization reactions, alkylation reactions and esterification reactions.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an electron emission display device and a driving method thereof capable of elevating a luminance and enhancing its lifetime. A pixel portion displays an image corresponding to voltages of a first electrode and a second electrode. A data driver transfers a data signal to the first electrode. A scan driver transfers a scan signal to the second electrode. A current measuring section measures an emission current flowing through the pixel portion. A power supply unit outputs an electric drive source. A voltage controller changes a voltage of an electric drive source corresponding to the emission current measured by the current measuring section. The voltage controller controls the emission current flowing through the pixel portion by the changed voltage of the electric drive source, so that a magnitude of the emission current is less than that of an initially set emission current.
