    摘要: In a static memory cell configured using four MOS transistors and two load resistance elements, the MOS transistors are formed on diffusion layers formed on a substrate. The diffusion layers (103a, 103b) serve as memory nodes. The drain, gate and source of the MOS transistors ( Qa11, Qa21, Qd11, Qd21 ) are arranged in the direction orthogonal to the substrate, and the gate surrounds a columnar semiconductor layer. In addition, the load resistance elements ( Ra1, Rb1 ) are formed by contact plugs. In this way, it is possible to form a SRAM cell with a small area.

    摘要: Signal charges generated by a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements are transferred to first and second horizontal charge transfer registers via corresponding vertical charge transfer registers. The first and second horizontal charge transfer registers transfer the signal charges to first and second output portions, respectively. The first and second output portions convert the signal charges into voltages. The first and second output portions respectively include first and second signal charge detectors, first and second transistors each having a source, a drain, and a gate, and first and second charge sweeping regions, each having a charge sweeping control gate and a charge sweeping drain. The first signal charge detector, the source, the drain, and the gate of the first transistor, and the charge sweeping control gate and the charge sweeping drain of the first charge sweeping region are almost congruent to the second signal charge detector, the source, the drain, and the gate of the second transistor, and the charge sweeping control gate and the charge sweeping drain of the second charge sweeping region, and the former components are overlaid almost completely on the latter components by a translational movement.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is an improved thyristor-based memory cell. In one embodiment, the cell (10) is formed in a floating substrate using Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology. The cell preferably incorporates a lateral thyristor (20) formed entirely in the floating substrate, and which is gated by a second word line. The cathode of the thyristor also comprises a source of an access transistor (18), whose drain is connected to the bit line of the device, and which is gated by a first word line (14). A trapping layer is built into the floating substrate, and when writing to the cell, pulses are added to cause holes to be trapped on the trapping layer for a logic state ‘1’ and to cause electrons to be trapped on the trapping layer for a logic state ‘0’. Trapping of charges on the trapping layer adds extra margin to the stored data states, prevents their degradation, and renders the cell non-volatile.

    摘要: The invention relates to conductive integrated circuits disposed above a semiconductor substrate and a diode formed between two electrodes. In order to obtain a very small-sized diode, the following steps are carried out: creation of the electrodes (ELn, GRST), thermal oxidation of the electrodes then the substrate between the electrodes is bared, followed by the operations enumerated below: a) deposition of doped polycrystalline silicon in order to form a pole (42) of the diode, wherein the substrate forms the other pole; b) definition of a desired silicon pattern (14) covering the space left between the electrodes and also covering a region located outside said space; c) deposition of an insulating layer (18), local etching of an opining in said insulating layer above the polycrystalline silicon outside the space located between the electrodes, in order to form a displaced contact area, deposition of a metal coating and etching of the metal coating. The main application of the invention is the reading diode for a CCD-type reading register.

    摘要: It is known in charge coupled devices to use a dual layer of silicon oxide and silicon nitride as the gate dielectric. Since silicon nitride is practically impermeable to hydrogen, the nitride layer is usually provided with openings through which hydrogen can penetrate up to the surface of the silicon body during the annealing step carried out for passivating the surface. The openings in the nitride layer are provided by a known method, with gates in a first poly layer serving as a mask, in that the nitride is removed from between these gates and an oxidation step is subsequently carried out. According to the invention, the openings in the nitride layer are formed by means of a separate mask (20), such that the edges of the openings (9) in the nitride layer (8) lie at some distance from the edges of the gates. It was found that the dark current can be substantially reduced by this method, and that in addition quantities such as the fixed pattern noise and the number of white spots can be advantageously reduced.

    摘要: An image-sensing device has pixel areas for outputting CCD signals of plural channels, and an adjusting portion for adjusting a level of each channel of the CCD signals outputted from the pixel area. A first channel CCD signal is provided from a pixel area 11a, a horizontal OB area 15a, a slide shift area 12a, and an HCCD 13a. A second channel CCD signal is provided from a pixel area 11b, a horizontal OB area 15b, a slide shift area 12b, and an HCCD 13b. Both of the first and second CCD signals are supplied to the adjusting portion with a reference signal added. The adjusting portion controls CCD signal of each channel by making the level of reference signal the same. The variation of the shift efficiency of electric charge in the border of pixel areas 11a and 11b for each channel, and in the slide shift areas 13a and 13b can be compensated.
