Abstract:
An integrated circuit, such as a SRAM cell (130), including an inverted FinFET transistor (P2) and a FinFET transistor (N3). The inverted FinFET transistor includes a first gate region (108) formed by semiconductor structure (100) on a substrate, a first body region comprised of a semiconductor layer (104), having a first channel region (112) disposed on the first gate region and a source (110) and drain (114) formed on either side of the first channel region. The FinFET transistor (N3) is coupled to the inverted FinFET transistor, and includes a second body region formed by the semiconductor structure (102), having a second channel region (118) and a source (116) and drain (120) formed on either side of the second channel region, and a second gate region (122) comprised of the semiconductor layer, disposed on the second channel region.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vertical type field effect transistor array improved in performance, and a method of manufacturing the same. SOLUTION: Each vertical part of each semiconductor pillar in a semiconductor pillar array has a line width greater than a separation distance to a neighboring semiconductor pillar. Alternatively, the array may arbitrarily includes a semiconductor pillar having a different line width within the restriction of the line width and the separation distance. A method of manufacturing the array of the semiconductor pillar uses a pillar mask layer created into a minimum dimension using photolithography, at least one of spacer layers of which is increased in an annular manner before it is used as an etching mask.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a memory cell etc. containing semiconductor features and a phase-change material. SOLUTION: The semiconductor feature defines a groove for dividing the semiconductor feature itself into a first electrode and a second electrode. The phase-change material at least partially fills the groove, and serves to electrically connect the first electrode with the second electrode. In response to a switching signal, added to at least one of the first and second electrodes, at least a part of phase-change material operates so that a low electrical resistance state and a high electrical resistance state are switched.
