    摘要: The non-volatile semiconductor memory includes a one device dynamic volatile memory cell having a storage capacitor (C s ) with a plate (12) and a storage node (10) coupled to a non-volatile device having a floating gate (FG), a control gate (24) and a voltage divider (16) having first and second serially-connected capacitors (C1, C2), with the floating gate (FG) being disposed at the common point between the first and second capacitors. The plate (12) of the storage capacitor is connected to a reference voltage source. The control gate (24) is preferably capacitively coupled to the floating gate (FG) through the first (C1) capacitor which includes a dual charge or electron injector structure (26). The capacitance of the first capacitor (C1) has a value substantially less than that of the second capacitor (C2).

    摘要: A saturation-limited bipolar transistor device or circuit and a method of making same are provided which includes a merged NPN transistor (T1) and a PNP transistor (P1) structure formed so as to produce denser cells or circuits. A simple process is used to form the structure which includes a double diffused technique for making the PNP transistor (P1). The PNP transistor (P1) has a double diffused emitter-base arrangement wherein the emitter (30) is asymmetrically positioned with respect to the base (26) so as to also serve as a contactforthe base (34) of the NPN transistor (T1). The PNP transistor (P1) limits the input current by bypassing excess current to a silicon semiconductor substrate or chip. The structure includes an N type epitaxial layer (14) formed on an N type subcollector (12) with a P type region (32, 34) provided near the surface of the epitaxial layer (14). The epitaxial layer serves as the NPN collector and as the PNP base contact region. A first N type region (26) is formed through the P type region (32, 34) extending from the surface of the epitaxial layer (14) to the subcollector (12) dividing the P type region into first and second sections (32, 34) which serve as the PNP collector region and the NPN base region, respectively. A second N type region (38) is formed in the second section (34) of the P type region at the surface of the epitaxial layer (14) acting as the NPN emitter and a P+ region (30) is formed in the first N type region (26) at the surface of the epitaxial layer (14) extending into the second section (34) of the P type region which forms the NPN transistor base. This P+ region (30) serves as the PNP emitter and as the NPN base contact.
