    Abstract: A semiconductor device containing in a single semiconductor body a self-aligned Field Effect Transistor and a Charge-Coupled Array having an improved capacity for storing charges. The device is formed by depositing both polysilicon and silicon nitride layers over a silicon dioxide layer on the surface of a silicon body and selectively etching these layers so that suitable dopants may be diffused or ion-implanted into selected areas of the underlying silicon body to form, in the same semiconductor body, an improved charge-coupled array having an improved self-aligned Field Effect Transistor associated therewith. This process not only results in a device in which the chance of an inversion layer under the oxide on the surface of the device is substantially reduced, but also provides a self-aligned Field Effect Transistor having a thinner gate oxide and a charge-coupled array that has an increased capacity for storing charges. The improved array so formed also has, during operation, zero spaced depletion regions so that unwanted electrical discontinuities between or within the depletion regions of the charge-coupled array are avoided. Because zero spacing is achieved by using these thin conducting layers, the metal phase lines can be made narrow thus leaving openings in the charge transfer channel making the device particularly suitable for imaging applications.

    Abstract: CAPACITOR MEMORY WITH AN AMPLIFIED CELL SIGNAL A memory is produced which has a series circuit including charge storage means, an impedance and switching means and an amplifier having an input connected to the series circuit at a point between the charge storage means and the impedance and an output coupled to a bit/sense line. The switching means is controlled by a pulse from a word line. The series circuit interconnects the bit/sense line and a point of reference potential. In a preferred embodiment, the switching means is a first field effect transistor having its gate electrode connected to the word line and the amplifier is a second field effect transistor having its gate electrode connected to the series circuit at a point between the charge storage means and the impedance and having one of its current carrying electrodes coupled to the bit/sense line and its other current carrying electrode coupled to a point of reference potential.

    Abstract: Fully integrated non-volatile and fixed threshold field effect devices are fabricated in N-channel technology on a single semiconductor substrate. MOSFET devices of the metal-nitride-oxide-semiconductor (MNOS) devices are used both as fixed threshold support devices and as variable threshold non-volatile memory array devices. Extremely stable and reproducible device characteristics result from the use of low charge containing dielectrics which allow optimum variable threshold stability and allow the use of operating potentials compatable with conventional fixed threshold FET devices. Low temperature processing following deposition of variable threshold gate dielectric enables all enhancement mode operation. A field oxide structure including a thin silicon dioxide layer, an aluminum oxide layer and a nitride layer provides parasitic threshold voltages in excess of 60 volts and prevents sub-threshold leakage.
