Flash memory is rapidly decreasing in price. There is a demand for a new memory system that permits size reduction and suits multiple-value memory. A flash memory of AND type suitable for multiple-value memory with multiple-level threshold values can be made small in area if the inversion layer is utilized as the wiring; however, it suffers the disadvantage of greatly varying in writing characteristics from cell to cell. Another promising method of realizing multiple-value memory is to change the storage locations. This method, however, poses a problem with disturbance at the time of operation. The present invention provides one way to realize a semiconductor memory device with reduced cell-to-cell variation in writing characteristics. The semiconductor memory has a source region and a drain region, which are formed parallel to each other, and an assist electrode which is between and parallel to the source and drain regions without overlapping, so that it uses, at the time of writing, the assist electrode as the assist electrode for hot electrons to be injected at the source side and it uses, at the time of reading, the inversion layer formed under the assist electrode as the source region or the drain region.

Method for driving a plasma display panel. At least one first discharge sustaining pulse is applied to a first pair of display electrodes, and at least one second discharge sustaining pulse applied to an adjacent pair of display electrodes. The first and second discharge sustaining pulses are applied such that they are in the same phase as one another and/or such that a current in the first pair of display electrodes flows in the opposite direction from a current in the adjacent pair of display electrodes.

In a semiconductor flash memory required to have high reliability, injection and extraction of electrons must be performed through an oxide film obtained by directly oxidizing a silicon substrate. Accordingly, the voltage to be used is a large voltage ranging from positive to negative one. In contrast, by storing charges in a plurality of dispersed regions, high reliability is achieved. Based on the high reliability, transfer of electrons is permitted through not only the oxide film obtained by directly thermally oxidizing a high reliability silicon substrate but also another oxide film deposited by CVD, or the like. In consequence, a device is controlled by electric potentials of the same polarity upon writing of data and upon erasing of data.

A field-effect semiconductor element implemented with a fewer number of elements and a reduced area and capable of storing data by itself without need for cooling at a cryogenic temperature, and a memory device employing the same. Gate-channel capacitance is set so small that whether or not a trap captures one electron or hole can definitely and distinctively be detected in terms of changes of a current of the semiconductor FET element. By detecting a change in a threshold voltage of the semiconductor element brought about by trapping of electron or hole in the trap, data storage can be realized at a room temperature.

Image printing apparatus including an exposure head for making a line-by-line exposure of a light-sensitive material, a positioning member facing the exposure head and having a projecting part situated on an optical axis of the exposure head on a side facing the exposure head, a first transfer path on an upstream side of the positioning member to transfer the material toward the positioning member, and a second transfer path on a downstream side of the positioning member to transfer the material downstream. The projecting part is located on a side closer to the exposure head than the intersection between an extension of the first transfer path and the optical axis and the intersection of an extension of the second transfer path and the optical axis. The positioning member has on its upstream side an inclined portion for guiding a forward end of the material transferred from the first transfer path onto the projecting part.
摘要:
An electrode drive circuit performs interlaced scanning, ensuring that the phases of the sustaining pulse in odd-numbered lines and even-numbered lines among L1 to L8 between surface discharge electrodes are the reverse of each other. With this, when either odd-numbered lines or even-numbered lines are displayed, the voltages applied between the electrodes of the undisplayed lines are at 0, eliminating the necessity for partitioning walls on the surface discharge electrodes. In surface discharge electrodes, X electrodes are provided on the two sides of a Y electrode and the area between the Y electrode and the X electrode on one side is assigned a display line at an odd-numbered frame, and the area between the Y electrode and the X electrode on the other side is assigned a display line in an even-numbered frame. Alternate areas between the surface discharge electrodes are assigned as blind lines and a discharge light emission in the blind lines is blocked or incident light to the blind lines from the outside is absorbed. Address electrodes are provided for each monochromatic pixel column and selectively connected with the pads above them, performing simultaneous selection of lines.
