摘要:
A magneto-resistive read head (107) having a "parasitic shield" (124) provides an alternative path for currents associated with sparkovers, thus preventing such currents from damaging the read head (107). The parasitic shield (124) is provided in close proximity to a conventional magnetic shield (113, 115). The electrical potential of parasitic shield (124) is held essentially equal to the electrical potential of the sensor element (111). If charges accumulate on the conventional shield (113, 115), current will flow to the parasitic shield (124) at a lower potential than would be required for current to flow between the conventional shield (113, 115) and the sensor element (111). Alternatively, conductive spark gap devices (203, 206) are electrically coupled to sensor element leads and to each magnetic shield (201, 202). Each spark gap (203, 206) device is brought within very close proximity of the substrate (207) to provide an alternative path for charge that builds up between the sensor element (213) and the substrate (207) to be discharged. The ends of the spark gaps (203, 206) that are brought into close proximity of the substrate are preferably configured with high electric field density inducing structures which reduce the voltage required to cause a sparkover between the spark gap device (203, 206) and the substrate (207).

摘要:
A high density substrate plate trench DRAM cell memory device and process are described in which a buried region (32) is formed adjacent to deep trench capacitors such that the substrate region of DRAM transfer FETs can be electrically isolated from other FETs on a semiconductor substrate (10). The buried region (32) is partially formed by ion implantation and diffusion to intersect the walls of the deep trenches (22). The buried region (32) is contacted along its perimeter by a reach through region to complete the isolation. The combined regions reduce charge loss due to better control of device parasitics.
