Abstract:
A memory cell includes a plug-type first electrode in a substrate, a magneto-resistive memory element disposed on the first electrode, and a second electrode disposed on the magneto-resistive memory element opposite the first electrode. The second electrode has an area of overlap with the magneto-resistive memory element that is greater than an area of overlap of the first electrode and the magneto-resistive memory element. The first surface may, for example, be substantially circular and have a diameter less than a minimum planar dimension (e.g., width) of the second surface. The magneto-resistive memory element may include a colossal magneto-resistive material, such as an insulating material with a perovskite phase and/or a transition metal oxide.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a CMOS transistor can be provided by forming first and second gate electrodes on a substrate and forming a gate insulation layer on the first and second gate electrodes. A semiconductor channel material having a first conductivity type can be formed on the gate insulation layer. A pair of ohmic contacts can be formed on the semiconductor channel material such that the ohmic contacts cross over both side portions of the first gate electrode, respectively. A pair of Schottky contacts can be formed on the semiconductor channel material such that the Schottky contacts cross over both side portions of the second gate electrode, respectively.
Abstract:
A plurality of nanowires is grown on a first substrate in a first direction perpendicular to the first substrate. An insulation layer covering the nanowires is formed on the first substrate to define a nanowire block including the nanowires and the insulation layer. The nanowire block is moved so that each of the nanowires is arranged in a second direction parallel to the first substrate. The insulation layer is partially removed to partially expose the nanowires. A gate line covering the exposed nanowires is formed. Impurities are implanted into portions of the nanowires adjacent to the gate line.

Abstract:
A thin film transistor includes a layer structure having a gate electrode, a gate insulation layer and a channel layer. A source line may contact the channel layer, and may extend along a direction crossing over the gate electrode. The source line may partially overlap the gate electrode so that both sides of the source line overlapping the gate electrode may be entirely positioned between both sides of the gate electrode. A drain line may make contact with the channel layer and may be spaced apart from the source line by a channel length. The drain line may have a structure symmetrical to that of the source line. Overlap areas among the gate electrode, the source line and the drain line may be reduced, so that the thin film transistor may ensure a high cut-off frequency.
