Abstract:
According to the invention, a double gate MOSFET semiconductor layer structure is formed on a substrate (1). This structure is comprised of a first and of a second gate electrode (10A, 10B) between which a semiconductor channel layer zone (4A) is embedded, and of a source region (2A) and a drain region (2B) which are arranged on opposite faces of the semiconductor channel layer zone (4A). At least one additional semiconductor channel layer zone (6A) is provided on one of the gate electrodes (10B). The faces of the at least one additional semiconductor channel layer zone are also contacted by the source region (2A) and drain region (2B).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a transistor that is provided with a first source/drain area (S/D1), a channel area (KA) adjacent thereto, a second source/drain area (S/D 2) adjacent thereto, a gate dielectric and a gate electrode. A first capacitor electrode (SP) of the capacitor is connected to the first source/drain area (S/D1). An insulating structure entirely surrounds an insulating area of the circuit arrangement. At least the first capacitor electrode (SP) and the first source/drain area (S/D1) are arranged in the insulating area. The second source/drain area (S/D2) and the second capacitor electrode of the capacitor are arranged outside the insulating area. The insulating structure prevents the first capacitor electrode (SP) from loosing charge through leaking currents between charging and discharging of the capacitor. A tunnel barrier (T) which is arranged in the channel area (KA) is part of the insulating structure. A capacitor dielectric (KD) that separates the first capacitor electrode (SP) from the second capacitor electrode is part of the insulating structure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a planar field effect transistor comprising a barrier layer that lies adjacent to and/or below part of the gate region. Said barrier layer is configured between the source region and the channel region and/or between the drain region and the channel region in such a way that there is practically no diffusion of the doping atoms from the source region and the drain region into the channel region, but that electric charge carriers can tunnel through the barrier layer.
