摘要:
A method is provided for reducing an arbitrary Boolean logic expression to static CMOS circuits by the use of a general matrix (10 and 12) of P channel devices and N channel devices which are interconnected in accordance with the terms of Boolean logic expressions derived from a truth table. More specifically, from a Boolean expression a sum-of-products expression giving the 1 binary data outputs of a truth table having a 0 input is found. This is accomplished by complementing, or barring, the literals which are a binary 1 when the output is 1 and leaving true or unbarred the literals that are a binary 0. Then each input (A-D; A-D) of a given product term is applied to the control gate of a P channel device, which devices are connected in series with one end tied to a source of potential (V H ) and the other end of the series circuit connected to an output terminal (Q). Each product term is arranged in parallel with other channel device series circuits to form one half of a complete logic matrix (10). Similarly, for the other halfofthe matrix (12), a sum-of-products expression giving the binary 0 outputs of a truth table having a binary 1 for an input is found. Each input of a given product term is applied to the control gate of an N channel device, which devices are connected in series with one end tied to a potential reference point, such as ground, and the other end of the series circuit is connected to the output terminal. Each product term is arranged in parallel with other N channel device series circuits.

A dense memory is provided which includes a one device random access memory cell using charge fill and spill techniques wherein a potential well under a storage node is filled with charge and the excess charge above a predetermined level is spilled to a diffusion or drain region connected to a sense line through a channel region controlled by pulses on a word line. One bit or two or more bits of information may be stored in the potential well at any given instant of time. Depending upon the value of the increment of voltage applied to the storage node or electrode, a given analog charge packet is stored in a potential well formed under the storage electrode. Information is read by applying a voltage to the word line to turn on the channel region and then stepping down the voltage on the storage electrode in fractional, preferably one half, increments. Charge from a charge packet spilled from the potential well under the storage electrode is detected by a sensing circuit connected to the sense line. To rewrite information into the potential well, the original increment of voltage is applied to the storage node and the sense line is pulled to ground so that the diffusion region acts as a source of charge for the potential well.

A calibrated sensing system is provided for sensing charge in a storage medium, such as a storage capacitor (16), coupled to an access or bit/sense line (B/S) which compensates for most sources of variability in the storage medium and in the access line. In the system, the unknown charge stored in the storage medium is transferred to a first capacitor (28) or potential well via the access line. A high charge state of the storage medium is written into the storage medium and known fractional packets of charge are prepared therefrom, transferred selectively to a second capacitor (30) or potential well and compared with the unknown charge in the first potential well to determine the relative level of the unknown charge that was stored in the storage medium. By selectively using two or more fractional packets of charge multilevel sensing is performed.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung und ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer sogenannten Eimerkettenschaltung durch eine Vereinigung eines MOS-Kondensators mit einem Metalloxide-Silicium-Feldeffekttransistor zur Bildung einer Ladungsübertragungszelle. In einem Teil einer P-leitenden Kanalzone eines Feldeffekttransistors wird anschließend an die Draindiffusionszone (104) eine dünne N-leitende Zone (107) mit einer ersten Konzentration durch Ionenimplantation hergestellt. Anschließend an die erste durch Ionenimplantation hergestellte Zone (107) wird eine zweite Zone (113) durch Ionenimplantation mit einem N-Leitung hervorrufenden Störelement mit einer zweiten Konzentration eingebracht, die geringer ist als die erste Konzentration. Die N-leitende Konzentration in der zweiten Zone (113) reicht gerade dazu aus, die P-leitende Hintergrunddotierung in der Kanalzone zu kompensieren. Durch diese Struktur wird der Ladungsübertragungswirkungsgrad für die Zelle erhöht, während gleichzeitig die Abhängigkeit der Schwellenwertspannung von der Source- und Drain- spannung verringert wird. Die Gateelektrode (112) der Zelle weist eine wesentliche Überlappung über der Drainzone und eine minimale Überlappung über der Sourcezone auf, und die Drain-Gate-Kapazität je Flächeneinheit wird dadurch zu einem Maximum gemacht, daß eine gleichförmig dünne Oxidschicht (110) über der Gatezone beibehalten wird.
