PURPOSE: A single electron transistor and a fabricating method thereof are provided to improve reproducibility and homogeneity of a size of an island by using porous silicon as the island of the single electron transistor. CONSTITUTION: A porous silicon layer(40) including apertures having diameters less than 5nm is formed on a substrate(10). A source(20) and a drain(30) are formed on both sides of the porous silicon layer by using a metal. An insulating layer(50) is formed on the porous silicon layer by using an oxide. A gate(60) is formed on the insulating layer. The substrate is formed with an SOI substrate. A thickness of the porous layer is less than 10nm.

The provided SONSNOS memory includes first and second insulating layers (111a,111b) stacked on the channel of the substrate, first and second dielectric layers (113a,113b) formed on the first insulating layer (111a) and under the second insulating layer (111b), respectively, a group IV semiconductor layer (115), silicon quantum dots, or metal quantum dots interposed between the first and second dielectric layers (113a,113b). The provided SONSNOS memory improves a programming rate and the capacity of the memory.

PURPOSE: A system and a method for controlling volume of a music file are provided to automatically control a volume level of the music file constantly when a plurality of music files are continuously played. CONSTITUTION: A volume information detector(201) detects the volume information added to an area of the compressed music file if playback of the compressed music file is requested. A decoder(201) decodes the compressed music file in order to recover the compressed music file to an original state. A volume controller(203) controls the volume of an audio signal output from the decoder based on the detected volume information. If the compressed music files is a plural number, the volume information detector detects the volume information of each compressed music file.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A non volatile single electron transistor memory is provided to secure a repeatability and a uniformity of an island by using a quantum dot for precisely controlling the size of the island to a unit of nanometer. CONSTITUTION: A non volatile single electron transistor memory comprises a silicon substrate(100), quantum dots(110) of a predetermined size, a source(120) and a drain(130), and a side gate. A SiO2 oxidation layer(100b) is formed on the silicon substrate. The quantum dots of a predetermined size are separated a predetermined interval from each other on the SiO2 oxidation layer. The source and drain are formed by evaporating a metal on the SiO2 oxidation layer including the quantum dots, having a predetermined number of the quantum dots used as an island, between the source and the drain. The side gate is formed on the SiO2 oxidation layer at a side surface of the source and drain, having a predetermined interval from the source and drain.
