A clock-controlled dc converter is provided in integrated semiconductor MOS technology and serves the supply voltage of integrated MOS circuits, particularly dynamic memories. The converter comprises a clock pulse generator having two outputs, supplying sequences of clock pulses which are inverted with respect to one another, which pulses are connected to the two clock pulse inputs of a first pulse level shifter. The first pulse level shifter comprises a bistable flip-flop lying at a supply potential, and which is switched as a level shifter. The two outputs of the first level shifter are connected, on the one hand, to the output of a voltage converter by way of the source-drain circuit of a respective field effect transistor. On the other hand, the two outputs are connected to the supply input of a respective pulse voltage doubler, which are in turn directly charged by a respective output of the clock pulse generator. The two pulse voltage doublers supply the clock pulse supply for a second pulse level shifter, likewise constructed as a bistable flip-flop, by way of the two outputs of which the connection between the outputs of the first level shifter and the output of the voltage comparator is controlled. The doubled supply voltage appears at the output of the voltage converter.

A semiconductor storage element is disclosed having a storage capacitor whose storage electrode is arranged above a doped semiconductor layer. The storage electrode is formed of a portion of a strip-like reference potential line which is separated from the semiconductor layer by a thin insulating layer. A transfer gate is also provided adjacent to the storage electrode which is formed from a portion of a strip-like word line likewise separated from the semiconductor layer by a thinner insulating layer. An oppositely doped zone is arranged at a surface of the semiconductor layer and serves as a bit line. The word line and the reference potential line run parallel to one another and are arranged directly adjacent to one another. When a potential is connected to the transfer gate, the bit line doped zone may be selectively conductively connected to the storage zone. The reference potential line for one group of the storage elements can be also used as a word line for another group of the storage elements.
