Abstract:
The invention relates to a bridge field-effect transistor storage cell comprising a first and second source/ drain areas and a channel area arranged therebetween which are formed in a semiconductor bridge. The inventive storage cell also comprises a charge-coupled layer which is disposed at least partially on the semiconductor bridge and a metal conductive gate area on at least one part of said charge-coupled layer which is arranged in such a way that electric charge carriers are selectively introducible or removable by applying a predetermined electric voltage to the bridge field-effect transistor storage cell.
Abstract:
A biosensor has a substrate with a surface incorporating one or more electrodes under a carbon cover incorporating a trap module. The sensor forms part of a diagnostic electronic circuit determining the electrode capacity. The carbon layer is primarily diamond that insulates and renders the electrode passive. The carbon layer structure forms no electrical link between the electrodes. The electrodes are fabricated of electrically-conducting carbon. Also claimed is a manufacturing process for the sensor in a hydrogen atmosphere pressurised to between 1 and 4 hectopascals and at a temperature of between 600 and 1000[deg]C, and in the presence of a hydrocarbon gas, oxygen plasma and/or acid.
Abstract:
The selective and surface deposition of a catalyst for growing nanotubes on a strip conductor in an integrated circuit comprises preparing an acidic or alkaline aqueous solution of the catalyst, applying the solution on the strip conductor, and removing the excess solution.
Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a layer arrangement, a plurality of electrically conductive structures are embedded in a substrate. Material of the substrate is removed at least between adjacent electrically conductive structures. An interlayer is formed on at least one portion of sidewalls of each of the electrically conductive structures. A first layer is formed on the interlayer where an upper partial region of the interlayer remaining free of a covering with the first layer. An electrically insulating second layer is formed selectively on that partial region of the interlayer which is free of the first layer, in such a way that the electrically insulating second layer bridges adjacent electrically conductive structures such that air gaps are formed between adjacent electrically conductive structures.

The method involves applying an electrically insulating layer (72) on a planarized surface of an integrated switching arrangement after the application of an electro conductive nucleation layer (74) on the surface. The insulating layer is structured so that areas of the nucleation layer are laid open. An electro conductive material is galvanically deposited on the areas laid open.
