Abstract:
A refrigerator for recognizing an object to be stored and automatically opening a door based on the recognized object, and a method therefor are provided. The refrigerator includes a main body, at least one door provided on a front surface of the main body, one or more storage rooms provided in the main body or the at least one door and configured to store an object, a cooler configured to cool the one or more storage rooms, a door driver configured to generate power for automatically opening and closing the at least one door, a camera configured to photograph an image of surroundings around the at least one door, and at least one processor configured to, in the case in which an object is recognized from the image of surroundings photographed by the camera, transmit a control signal for opening the at least one door to the door driver based on the recognized object.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device may include a substrate including an active pattern, a channel pattern on the active pattern and including semiconductor patterns that are vertically stacked and spaced apart from each other, a source/drain pattern connected to the semiconductor patterns, a gate electrode on the semiconductor patterns and including inner electrodes between neighboring semiconductor patterns and an outer electrode on an uppermost semiconductor pattern, and a gate contact structure electrically connected to the outer electrode. The gate contact structure may include a lower gate contact on a top surface of the outer electrode and an upper gate contact on the lower gate contact. The lower gate contact may include a first liner pattern, a first filling pattern on the first liner pattern, and a nucleation pattern between the first liner pattern and the first filling pattern. The upper gate contact may not include the nucleation pattern.
