    Abstract: A first thin insulating film capable of being pierced or punched through by carriers such as an SiO2 film 20 A thick is deposited on the surface of a P-type silicon substrate and a second insulating film with a trap level such as an Si3N4 film 500 to 600 A thick is laid on the first insulating film. Upon application of an electric field through a metal electrode mounted on the second insulating film to the combination of the insulating films, electrons captured at the trap level of the second insulating film transfer through the first insulating film to the surface of the substrate thereby forming an inversion layer. When the inversion layer is connected with the two junction regions formed in the surface of the substrate, the reverse current level of the junction region increases semipermanently due to the breakdown voltage of the junction until the inversion layer is cancelled by the application of a reverse electric field. This principle is used to produce a memory device characterized by an exact operation comprising a semiconductor, the first thin insulating film, the second insulating film with a trap level, the second insulating film, the metal electrode and two PN junctions which have different junction breakdown voltages.

    Abstract: A negative resistance device is formed by a series-connection of a complementary pair of insulated gate type FETs (field effect transistors), the sources of the FETs being connected to each other and the gate of each FET being connected to the drain of the other FET. At least one of the FETs has a double layered gate insulating film under the gate electrode, thereby forming a non-volatile memory element. The device acquires or loses a negative resistance characteristic by responding to signals on the gates, thereby memorizing the signals. A highly efficient memory which requires little power during writing-in, erasing and memory-holding, can be achieved in this way.

    Abstract: 1520067 Semiconductor devices MATSUSHITA ELECTRONICS CORP 19 Feb 1976 [20 Feb 1975 18 April 1975 17 Sept 1975] 06656/76 Heading H1K [Also in Division H3] A negative resistance device comprises a complementary pair of depletion mode FETs 20, 30 whose sources 25, 35 are connected together and the drain 26, 36 of each FET is connected to the gate 24, 34 of the other FET, at least one of the FETs 20, 30 having a gate insulation which stores electric charges so as to memorize in a non-volatile manner. The FETs 20, 30 may be MNOS devices with polysilicon gates and a Si substrate, or alternatively, the gate insulation may be a Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 double layer. In other embodiments the substrate 21 is connected to the sources 25, 35 and a diode in series with either drain is formed by doping the drain. This reduces the current required to read the state of the FET to zero. In another embodiment a well 31 in which one FET 30 is formed also serves as the source of the other FET 20.

    Abstract: 1359579 Semi-conductor devices MATSUSHITA ELECTRONICS CORP 18 Feb 1972 [23 Feb 1971 (2)] 7667/72 Heading H1K A region 5 of a III-V semi-conductor body 1 is formed by diffusion of a dopant such as Zn or Cd through a layer 2 of Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr or Hf surrounded by a layer 4 of an oxide of the metal of layer 2, the oxide being impermeable to the diffusing dopant. The oxide 4 is preferably formed by selective anodization of the metal layer 2. In the GaAs light-emitting diode shown the original body 1 is Te-doped and N- type, the Ta layer 2 being applied by sputtering. An ohmic Au-Cr alloy electrode 7 on the layers 2 and 4 is soft-soldered to a Cu heat sink 9, and an annular Au-Ge ohmic electrode is formed on the substrate 1, both electrodes being formed by evaporation. In a modification the P + diffused region may be formed in a P-type liquid-phaseepitaxially grown layer on an N type substrate. GaP, GaAs 1-x P x , Ga 1-x Al x As and Ga 1-x Al x P are other suitable semi-conductors, and the invention is also applicable to the manufacture of IMPATT diodes.

    Abstract: A silicon oxide layer containing a group III element such as boron, aluminum or gallium is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The substrate is then heat treated at 600 DEG C - 1200 DEG C in a nitrogen atmosphere and a diffusion process carried out thereafter. In this manner, the impurity diffused surface of the semiconductor body is controlled to a low concentration not higher than 1018/cm3 of the group III element. This is due to the fact that the silicon oxide layer containing the group III element (that is, the so-called doped oxide) is partly converted to a nitride in the course of an ammonia treatment resulting in an impurity source for the low concentration diffusion. The present method is useful in forming the base region of an NPN transistor, for example.
