Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic device includes a substrate, a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer that are disposed to be spaced apart from each other over the substrate, a channel layer disposed between the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer over the substrate, a proton conductive layer disposed on the channel layer, and a gate electrode layer disposed on the proton conductive layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An electronic device comprising: a substrate; a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer that are disposed to be spaced apart from each other over the substrate; a channel layer disposed between the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer over the substrate; a proton conductive layer disposed on the channel layer; and a gate electrode layer disposed on the proton conductive layer. 2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the channel layer includes a metal and wherein the hydrogen is disposed in an interstitial site of a crystal lattice of the metal. 3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the channel layer includes a metal that forms a metal hydride. 4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the proton conductive layer includes at least one selected from the group consisting of proton exchange polymer, metal-organic framework (MOF), covalent-organic framework (COF), sulfonated graphene, and polymer-graphene composites. 5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the proton conductive layer includes hydrogen that can be exchanged with the channel layer. 6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the channel layer has a hydrogen concentration that varies according to a voltage applied between at least one of the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer and the gate electrode layer. 7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the channel layer has an electrical resistance that varies according to the concentration of hydrogen distributed in the channel layer. 8 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a hydrogen source layer disposed between the proton conductive layer and the gate electrode layer.
