    摘要: A non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) cell that utilizes a simple, single-transistor DRAM cell configuration. The present NVRAM employs an enhancement mode nMOS transistor made as an accumulation mode transistor. The transistor has an n-type silicon carbide channel layer on a p-type silicon carbide buffer layer, with the channel and buffer layers being on a highly resistive silicon carbide substrate. The transistor also has n+ source and drain contact regions on the channel layer. A polysilicon/oxide/metal capacitor is preferably used which has a very low leakage current. Furthermore, this type of capacitor can be stacked on top of the transistor to save area and achieve high cell density. It is preferred to use a non-reentrant (edgeless) gate transistor structure to further reduce edge effects.

    摘要: Apparatus for forming one or more sonar beams in response to acoustic energy received by a transducer array. To minimize volume utilization, a plurality of CCD's are formed on an integrated circuit chip with the CCD's being of progressively smaller length. Half of the CCD array is folded over to match the other half so that each CCD has an opposing CCD with both CCD's propagating a signal toward a common output diode. By providing one integrated circuit chip for each desired beam with appropriately different clocking frequencies multiple beams may be formed, and with the provision of a variable clocking frequency, one or more beams may be steered.Transversal filter operations may also be performed by the apparatus.

    摘要: An improved drain source protected MNOS transistor is realized by means of a fabrication technique that permits independent control of memory and nonmemory parameters. Self alignment of memory regions during fabrication is achieved by using nitride masking for gate oxidation. Independent control of memory and nonmemory parameters derives from a device configuration in which protected regions consist exclusively of gate oxide and silicon nitride is present only in the memory regions. Transistor radiation hardening is also achieved by elimination of the nitride layer above the device's thin silicon dioxide regions.

    摘要: An N-channel MOS transistor wherein two layers of different dielectric materials (e.g., silicon dioxide and silicon nitride) are used in conjunction with a P-doped silicon gate to permit the use of a higher resistivity P-type substrate. This enables a higher junction breakdown voltage and a higher threshold voltage without a reverse bias on the substrate due to an increase in the work function difference between the gate and substrate. Because of the lower concentration (i.e., higher resistivity) of the substrate, high frequency response is increased due to lower drain-source capacitance.
