SOLUTION: The memory device, in which tunnel field-effect transistors (TFET) and embedded bit lines are used, includes a matrix containing a plurality of rows and columns of memory cells. Each memory cell includes at least one cell transistor (T01 to Tmn). The cell transistor includes a first doped region and a second doped region, wherein the one is a source region (98) and the other is a drain region (152). The memory device includes a plurality of word lines (WL0 to WLn). Each word line is connected to the memory cells belonging to the row and to the bit lines, while each bit line is connected to the memory cells belonging to the column. The doping type of the first doped region and that of the second doping region are different. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor connective region of a first conductivity type through a semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type which at least partly separates a bulk portion of semiconductor body (substrate) of the first conductivity type from a semiconductor well of the first conductivity type includes a step of implanting ions into a portion of the layer to convert the conductivity of the implanted portion to the first conductivity type. This electrically connects the well to the bulk portion of the body. Any biasing potential applied to the bulk portion of the body is thus applied to the well. This eliminates any need to form a contact in the well for biasing the well and thus allows the well to be reduced in size.
Abstract:
A field effect transistor with a heterostructure includes a strained monocrystalline semiconductor layer formed on a carrier material, which has a relaxed monocrystalline semiconductor layer made of a first semiconductor material (Si) as the topmost layer. The strained monocrystalline semiconductor layer has a semiconductor alloy (GexSi1-x), where the proportion x of a second semiconductor material can be set freely. Furthermore, a gate insulation layer and a gate layer are formed on the strained semiconductor layer. To define an undoped channel region, drain/source regions are formed laterally with respect to the gate layer at least in the strained semiconductor layer. The possibility of freely setting the Ge proportion x enables a threshold voltage to be set as desired, whereby modern logic semiconductor components can be realized.
