Abstract:
To produce an arrangement containing self-amplifying dynamic MOS transistor memory cells which each comprise a selection transistor, a memory transistor and a diode structure, the selection transistor and the memory transistor being connected in series via a common nodal point and the diode structure being connected between the common nodal point and the gate electrode (10) of the memory transistor, the selection transistor and the memory transistor are formed as vertical MOS transistors. For this purpose a vertical sequence of suitably doped zones (2, 3, 4) in which trenches (5, 6) are produced and which are provided with gate dielectric (7, 8) and gate electrode (9, 10) is produced, in particular, by LPCVD epitaxy or by molecular-beam epitaxy.
Abstract:
In an exemplary embodiment, an electrical charge image is scanned by a matrix of integrated MOS components with a floating gate (or a switched floating gate), functioning as a matrix of potential sensors, to produce an image signal for display on a video screen. A minimum field effect transistor with source-follower circuitry is preferably employed as the potential sensor; the sensor outputs are linked to a shift register. The new component is suitable for employment for potential measurements in X-ray diagnostics.

At least one CMOS component which is configured in a semiconductor substrate is part of the inventive circuit assembly. An insulating layer is configured on the semiconductor substrate. The insulating layer covers the CMOS component. A nanoelectronic component is configured above the insulating layer. At least one conducting structure is configured in the insulating layer and serves to link the nanoelectronic component with the CMOS component. If several nanoelectronic components are provided, they are preferably grouped to nano-circuit blocks. Each of the nano-circuit blocks is so small that the RC times of their lines do not exceed 1 ns.
Abstract:
A DRAM cell configuration includes a vertical MOS transistor per memory cell. First source/drain regions of the transistor each belong to two adjacent transistors and adjoin a bit line. Second source/drain regions of the transistor are connected to a storage node. A gate electrode of the transistor has exactly two sides adjoined by a gate oxide. The DRAM cell configuration can be produced by using three masks with a memory cell area of 4 F2. F is a minimum structure size which can be produced by using the respective technology.
Abstract:
Resistors are connected between word lines and bit lines running transversely with respect thereto. The resistors have a higher resistance than the word lines and the bit lines. The bit lines are each connected to a sense amplifier which regulates the potential on the respective bit line to a reference potential and at which an output signal can be picked off. If one of the word lines is selected and all the other word lines are put at reference potential, then the resistance of the resistor, which is assigned to an information item, can be read from the output signal.
