Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a read/write circuit which can be inserted into even the reduced raster of 4F width in DRAM memory components since a DRAM uses the write/read circuit for refreshing information and requires an integrated write/read circuit for evaluating at least one bit line, and high integration is required for the write/read circuit on the other hand as well. SOLUTION: At least one transistor to be used for the write/read circuit is a longitudinal type transistor. Besides, source/drain areas 57 and 59 of each of paired transistor are made common.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease an area of a DRAM memory cell. SOLUTION: A memory cell 51 has at least a memory capacitor 52 and a selection transistor 12 which are intrinsically formed in a region of a rectangular cell region 59. The rectangular cell region 59 has a larger range in a longitudinal direction L than in a widthwise direction B. It is wired to a periphery of a cell via word lines 56, 57 and a bit line 55, or can be wired thereto. The word lines 56, 57 and the bit line 55 are transmitted onto the memory cell 51 and are directed at least intrinsically perpendicular to each other.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a switching circuit system, an electrochemical sensor, a sensor system, and a method for processing a current signal made available via a sensor electrode. The inventive switching circuit system comprises a sensor electrode, a first circuit unit that is electrically coupled to the sensor electrode, and a second circuit unit which is provided with a first capacitor. The first circuit unit is arranged in such a way that it maintains the electric potential of the sensor electrode within a predefined first reference range at a predefined electric set point potential by coupling the first capacitor to the sensor electrode such that the electric potential can be adjusted. The second circuit unit is arranged in such a way that it detects any deviation of the electric potential of the first capacitor from a second reference range and brings the first capacitor to a first electric reference potential.
