Abstract:
Nonvolatile memory devices can include a floating gate on a substrate, with a first tunnel insulating film therebetween. A memory gate can be on the floating gate, with a blocking insulating film therebetween. A word line can be located at a first side of both the memory gate and the floating gate, with a second tunnel insulating film therebetween. The first side of the floating gate can protrude beyond the first side of the memory gate toward the word line.

Abstract:
In a cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery, the width of an electrode tab positioned at a center of an electrode assembly is extended so that it serves as a center pin and functions to release heat. Thus, it is not necessary to separately insert a center pin, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and steps. The cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery comprises an electrode assembly, a case for receiving the electrode assembly, and a cap assembly for sealing the top opening of the case. The electrode assembly comprises a positive electrode plate and negative electrode plate. The positive electrode plate has a positive electrode tab, a positive active material region, a positive uncoated region, and a positive current collector exposed through the positive uncoated region. The negative electrode plate has a negative electrode tab, a negative active material region, a negative uncoated region, a negative current collector exposed through the negative uncoated region, and a separator interposed between the positive and negative electrode plates. At least one of the positive and negative electrode tabs has an extended width at the center of the electrode assembly.
Abstract:
Electrode assemblies easily impregnated with an electrolyte are provided. A sealing tape attached to the outer circumference of the electrode assembly comprises a material having an affinity for the electrolyte. Alternatively, the entire sealing tape or a portion of the tape is coated with the material. In another alternative, the surface of the sealing tape is rough, thereby improving wetting of the tape by the electrolyte and diffusion of the electrolyte into the tape. In another embodiment, first and second insulating plates comprise a material having an affinity for the electrolyte. In another alternative, the insulating plates comprise a mixture of a material having an affinity for the electrolyte and polypropylene or polyethylene. Alternatively, the surfaces of the insulating plates are coated with the material or with a surfactant that reduces the surface tension of the electrolyte.
