Abstract:
A TFT array substrate includes a substrate, a patterned first metallic layer, a patterned stack layer, a patterned dielectric layer, a patterned transparent conductive layer, and a patterned third metallic layer. Elements of each TFT in the TFT array substrate are arranged vertically, so that the TFT array substrate has relatively small fabrication area and is operable with a high conducting current. Further, the storage capacitance can be enhanced by enclosing or sandwiching the second metallic layer with the common lines and the transparent electrodes. In such a way, pixel flashing caused by those coupled signals can be reduced, thus promoting displaying quality thereof.

Abstract:
Cyclic voltammetry (CV) may be used with novel sensors for identifying the presence of target sequences complementary to probe sequences. The sensor may include an electrode layer (which is used as a working electrode in a CV system), a conductive polymer layer, and probes immobilized (e.g., via sulfur) on the conductive polymer layer. The conductive polymer layer may be polyaniline, or the like. The probes may be immobilized on the polymer layer using an electro-chemical immobilization technique in the presence of nucleophiles, such as thiol groups for example. The probes may be oligionucleotides. Thus, the sensors may be used for identifying genomic sequence variations and detecting mismatch base pairs, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for example.

A method of doping fins of a semiconductor device that includes a substrate includes forming multiple fin structures on the substrate, each of the fin structures including a cap formed on a fin. The method further includes performing a first tilt angle implant process to dope a first pair of the multiple fin structures with n-type impurities and performing a second tilt angle implant process to dope a second pair of the multiple fin structures with p-type impurities.

The present invention is directed to compositions and methods related to the synthesis and modification of uridine-5′-diphospho-sulfoquinovose (UDP-SQ). In particular, the methods of the present invention comprise the utilization of recombinant enzymes from Arabidopsis thaliana, UDP-glucose, and a sulfur donor to synthesize UDP-SQ, and the subsequent modification of UDP-SQ to form compounds including, but not limited to, 6-sulfo-α-D-quinovosyl diaclyglycerol (SQDG) and alkyl sulfoquinovoside. The compositions and methods of the invention provide a more simple, rapid means of synthesizing UDP-SQ, and the subsequent modification of UDP-SQ to compounds including, but not limited to, SQDG.
