Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-density integrated circuit device by which a floating body effect of a transistor can be avoided. SOLUTION: A vertical MOS transistor includes a series of layers SF, SF* arranged on a first conductive type substrate 1. The series of layers comprise a lower layer U for a first source/drain region, an intermediate layer M doped with a first conductive type to act as a channel region, and an upper layer O for a second source/drain region. A connection structure V doped with the first conductive type is arranged on a first surface of the series of layers SF, SF* to electrically connect the channel region to the substrate 1. A gate electrode of the transistor is arranged on a second surface of the series of layers SF, SF*. The connection structure V can be arranged between the series of layers SF, SF* and the same or another series of layers SF, SF*. The dimension of the connection structure V or the like can be a lithography dimension or less. The manufactured circuit is suitable for a storage cell arrangement. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a layer structure used as a double-gate field effect transistor, and to provide a method for manufacturing the layer structure. SOLUTION: A porous silicon layer is formed on an auxiliary substrate as a sacrifice layer. A first semiconductor layer and a first electric insulating layer are successively formed on the sacrifice layer. On the first electric insulating layer, a conductive layer is formed for laterally forming a pattern. The laterally pattern-formed conductive layer is used as a common mask for laterally pattern-forming the first electric insulating layer, the sacrifice layer, and the first semiconductor layer. A semiconductor section is formed adjacent to the sidewall of the pattern-formed sacrifice layer and that of the first pattern-formed semiconductor layer. A substrate is fixed to the upper portion of the pattern-formed conductive layer, and the material of the auxiliary substrate is removed, thus exposing the sacrifice layer. The sacrifice layer is selectively removed, thus forming a trench. In the trench, a second electric insulating layer is formed, and a conductive section is formed on the second electric insulating layer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a layer arrangement capable of overcoming a problem related to epitaxial growth. SOLUTION: In a manufacturing method of a layer arrangement of the present invention, a first layer (203) having a thickness larger than a minimum thickness for the epitaxial growth of a second layer (408) is formed, a second layer (408) is epitaxially grown on the first layer (203), and a third layer (409) is formed on the second layer (408). Further, a handling wafer (510) is joined on the third layer, and the substrate is removed from a second surface facing a first surface, and the first layer (203) is partially made to be thin from the second surface, and as a result, after making the layer thin, the first layer (203) has a thickness smaller than the minimum thickness for the epitaxial growth.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a fin field effect transistor that comprises a substrate, a fin structure above the substrate, as well as a drain region and a source region outside the fin structure above the substrate. The fin structure serves as a channel between the source region and the drain region. Source and drain region are formed once the gate has been produced.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a MOS transistor in which the source capacity and drain capacity are reduced relatively to the substrate, owing to the fact that an isolating element (507) made of a material with a low dielectric constant is placed under the source and drain supply. The invention also relates to an integrated circuit in which the bitline supply line capacity is reduced relatively to the substrate, owing to the fact that an isolating element (307) made of a material with a low dielectric constant is placed under the bitline supply line.
Abstract:
A memory element with organic material comprises two metallised layers, arranged one on top of the other, with first lines and second lines which are arranged to intersect with each other. A channel is formed at the intersections between the first line and the second line, which overlaps the first line partially and completely overlaps the second line. The channels are filled with a filling material, the electrical conductivity of which may be altered by an applied electrical voltage.

The invention relates to a molecular electronics arrangement comprising a substrate, at least one first strip conductor having a surface and being arranged in or on the substrate, a spacer which is arranged on the surface of the at least one first strip conductor and which partially covers the surface of the at least one first strip conductor, and at least one second strip conductor which is arranged on the spacer and comprises a surface which faces the surface of the at least one first strip conductor in a plane manner. The spacer partially covers the surface of the at least one second strip conductor, and defines a pre-determined distance between the at least one first strip conductor and the at least one second strip conductor.
