Abstract:
A semiconductor memory cell has a field-effect transistor device and a ferroelectric storage capacitor. The field-effect transistor device has a channel region that includes or is made of an organic semiconductor material. Besides a first gate electrode of the gate electrode configuration of the field-effect transistor device, an additional selection gate electrode is provided, by way of which the field-effect transistor device can be switched off without influencing the storage dielectric and independently of the first gate electrode.
Abstract:
Semiconductor storage cell has a modulation region (M) arranged between first gate electrode (G1) of gate electrode arrangement,and an insulating region. (M) is made from a material which can be controllably modulated with respect to its electrical and/or its wide material properties between at least two states. The channel region can be electromagnetically influenced according to the states of the modulation material, especially when there is an electrical potential difference between the first gate electrode and the source/drain regions (SD1, SD2). The electrical conductivity of the channel region can be controlled via the states of the modulation material and/or via the state changes. The modulation region is made from an organic and/or inorganic material, especially in the form of a mono-layer.
Abstract:
A cleaning process for cleaning CVD units is disclosed. In the cleaning process, alkaline earth metal and/or metal-containing process residues, which form an amorphous film on reactor walls, are removed using a dry etching medium containing free diketones at a greatly reduced pressure and an elevated temperature. In the process, the free diketones react with the alkaline earth metals or metals to form volatile complexes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for removing redepositions on a wafer and to a wafer which is devoid of redepositions. The removal of the redepositions on the wafer occurs after a protective layer is arranged on the top electrode and the boundary surfaces of the electrodes with a dielectric, whereby said areas are not damaged by wet chemical agents enabling the redepositions to be exclusively and efficiently removed.
