    摘要: An oversize ferroelectric capacitor is located against the contact hole to the MOSFET source/drain in a DRAM. A barrier layer made of titanium nitride, titanium tungsten, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, indium tin oxide, tin dioxide, ruthenium oxide, silicon, silicide, or polycide lies between the ferroelectric layer and the source drain. The barrier layer may act as the bottom electrode of the ferroelectric capacitor, or a separate bottom electrode made of platinum may be used. In another embodiment in which the barrier layer forms the bottom electrode, an oxide layer less than 5 nm thick is located between the barrier layer and the ferroelectric layer and the barrier layer is made of silicon, silicide, or polycide. A thin silicide layer forms and ohmic contact between the barrier layer and the source/drain. The capacitor and the barrier layer are patterned in a single mask step. The ends of the capacitor are stepped or tapered. In another embodiment both the bottom and top electrode may be made of silicon, silicide, polycide or a conductive oxide, such as indium tin oxide, tin dioxide, or ruthenium oxide.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for programming ferroelectric memory cells which reduces fatigue effects of switching polarization of the ferroelectric devices associated with the memory cells such as ferroelectric capacitors and transistors. Alteration of the rise AC fall times associated with signals used to switch ferroelectric device polarization are shown to reduce fatigue of the ferroelectric material thereby increasing the useful life of ferroelectric memory cells. Slowing the rise and fall times as well as the rate of signal level rise and fall, (signal shape), are shown to reduce the fatigue effects of switching polarization of ferroelectric devices. Methods and apparatus for producing a triangular ("sawtooth") signal waveform, a Gaussian signal waveform, and a waveform having exponential rise and fall times are disclosed.

    摘要: A solid state electronic device having a thin film of an Al (aluminum) alloy Li (lithium) on the surface of a substrate for a surface acoustic wave (SAW). Interdigital electrodes, electric wiring patterns and bonding pads are formed by the thin film of the Li-added Al alloy. This thin film suppresses migration which occurs when a high density current is supplied to the device or a large amplitude SAW is generated. The thin film, which provides a small loss and relatively low hardness, provides a desired power handling capability and high yield of wire bonding. The this film assures high endurance to failure of the device and sufficient life of the device.

    摘要: A cheap and small ball spline bearing comprises: identical balls; an outer hollow cylinder; a cylindrical holding apparatus fixed to the inner peripheral surface of this cylinder; and a spline axis. In the outer cylinder, three projections are formed in the inner peripheral surface at regular intervals in the axial direction, track grooves adapted to load the balls are formed in both side surfaces of each projection, and U-shaped grooves between the projections are formed to have the almost same depth. In the holding apparatus, infinite circulating passages for the balls using the both side surfaces as track grooves are formed symmetrically on the right and left sides with regard to the central line in the axial direction of each U-shaped groove, and windows each width of which is slightly narrower than the ball diameter are formed in the axial direction at the locations of the track grooves. The spline axis has six protuberances formed so as to sandwich the load balls existing at the locations of the projections of the cylinder, and track grooves are formed in the portions which are in contact with the balls. This bearing has a high rigidity and a small slide resistance and can be easily and accurately worked.
