This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18449830 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a semiconductor device with specific features. Here are the key points:
- The device includes an oxide semiconductor layer with a first and second surface.
- A gate electrode is positioned facing the oxide semiconductor layer.
- A gate insulating layer is present between the oxide semiconductor layer and the gate electrode.
- The oxide semiconductor layer has a pair of first electrodes in contact with its first surface.
- Within a depth range of 2 nanometers from the first surface, there is a region near the edge of at least one of the first electrodes where the composition ratio of nitrogen is 2 percent or more.
