Abstract

The amplitude voltage of a signal input to a level shifter can be increased and then output by the level shifter circuit. Specifically, the amplitude voltage of the signal input to the level shifter can be increased to be output. This decreases the amplitude voltage of a circuit (a shift register circuit, a decoder circuit, or the like) which outputs the signal input to the level shifter. Consequently, power consumption of the circuit can be reduced. Alternatively, a voltage applied to a transistor included in the circuit can be reduced. This can suppress degradation of the transistor or damage to the transistor.

Abstract

Acetylene black, which is used as a conductivity aid, is a material that tends to agglomerate. Reducing the quantity of conductivity aid makes agglomeration occur less readily, but the electronic conductivity of an electrode as a whole will decrease. Accordingly, one objective of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery in which the quantity of conductivity aid is reduced while also having sufficient electronic conductivity of an electrode as a whole. A lithium-ion secondary battery disclosed in the present specification has a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode. In the positive electrode, layers containing bundles of carbon nanotubes whose long axes are oriented in one direction and layers containing positive electrode active material are alternately stacked on a positive electrode current collector.

Abstract

A transistor that is to be provided has such a structure that a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer between which a channel formation region is sandwiched has regions projecting in a channel length direction at lower end portions, and an insulating layer is provided, in addition to a gate insulating layer, between the source and drain electrode layers and a gate electrode layer. In the transistor, the width of the source and drain electrode layers is smaller than that of an oxide semiconductor layer in the channel width direction, so that an area where the gate electrode layer overlaps with the source and drain electrode layers can be made small. Further, the source and drain electrode layers have regions projecting in the channel length direction at lower end portions.

Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention provides a highly reliably display device in which a high mobility is achieved in an oxide semiconductor. A first oxide component is formed over a base component. Crystal growth proceeds from a surface toward an inside of the first oxide component by a first heat treatment, so that a first oxide crystal component is formed in contact with at least part of the base component. A second oxide component is formed over the first oxide crystal component. Crystal growth is performed by a second heat treatment using the first oxide crystal component as a seed, so that a second oxide crystal component is formed. Thus, a stacked oxide material is formed. A transistor with a high mobility is formed using the stacked oxide material and a driver circuit is formed using the transistor.

Abstract

There have been cases where transistors formed using oxide semiconductors are inferior in reliability to transistors formed using amorphous silicon. Thus, in the present invention, a semiconductor device including a highly reliable transistor formed using an oxide semiconductor is manufactured. An oxide semiconductor film is deposited by a sputtering method, using a sputtering target including an oxide semiconductor having crystallinity, and in which the direction of the c-axis of a crystal is parallel to a normal vector of the top surface of the oxide semiconductor. The target is formed by mixing raw materials so that its composition ratio can obtain a crystal structure.

Abstract

To provide a positive electrode active material in which a phase transition is inhibited and a secondary battery including the positive electrode active material. An unprecedented synthesis method has been developed in which lithium cobalt oxide particles are treated with a molten salt of MgF2—LiF as a reaction accelerator to facilitate the diffusion and doping of magnesium into lithium cobalt oxide bulk and to form a stable coating layer in the particle surface portion. Ex situ XRD analysis confirms the inhibition of the harmful phase transition and the emergence of a novel phase as the modified LiCoO2 is charged up to 4.7 V. The modified LiCoO2 shows high electrochemical performance during high-voltage operation. This technology provides a guideline for suppressing fundamental degradation associated with phase transition and achieving ultra-high energy density LiCoO2 positive electrodes.

The charge state of the first secondary battery and the charge state of the second secondary battery are controlled. When the first secondary battery is close to full charge and is likely to deteriorate, it is possible to perform charging from the first secondary battery to the second secondary battery.
