摘要: Vertical field-effect transistor (VFET) devices and methods of forming the same are provided. The methods may include forming a lower structure on a substrate. The lower structure may include first and second VFETs, a preliminary isolation structure between the first and second VFETs, and a gate liner on opposing sides of the preliminary isolation structure and between the preliminary isolation structure and the substrate. Each of the first and second VFETs may include a bottom source/drain region, a channel region and a top source/drain region sequentially stacked, and a gate structure on a side surface of the channel region. The preliminary isolation structure may include a sacrificial layer and a gap capping layer sequentially stacked. The methods may also include forming a top capping layer on the lower structure and then forming a cavity between the first and second VFETs by removing the sacrificial layer.

摘要: A fingerprint recognition device includes a display, a touch sensor panel (TSP) which senses a touch, and a fingerprint recognition integrated circuit (FPIC) which scans a fingerprint. The FPIC includes a pixel including a photoelectric element which receives light reflected by the fingerprint, a low noise amplifier (LNA) which outputs a signal voltage by converting an electric charge received from the photoelectric element, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which converts the signal voltage into a digital signal. The ADC includes a variable reference voltage generator which provides a variable reference voltage, a comparator which adds the variable reference voltage to the signal voltage, performs correlated double sampling on the result of the addition, and outputs a comparison signal by comparing the result of the correlated double sampling with a ramp voltage, and a counter which outputs the digital signal by counting the comparison signal.

摘要: An air cleaning system having at least one dust sensor and a method for controlling the air cleaning system may improve accuracy of dust sensors through linkage control of the dust sensors, and may normally operate a faulty air cleaner using dust sensors of the remaining communicating air cleaners other than the faulty air cleaner even when any one of the dust sensors fails to operate. The air cleaning system may select a master dust sensor through linkage control of the dust sensors, and may operate the plurality of air cleaners only using sensor information of the master dust sensor. Therefore, the air cleaning system may stop operation of the remaining dust sensors other than the master dust sensor, may reduce measurement noise produced by the dust sensors and power consumption, and may increase a lifetime of the dust sensors.
