    摘要: A nonvolatile logic circuit includes logic configuration electrodes and input electrodes. The nonvolatile logic circuit is programmable to any one of the logics between the input signals selected from logical conjunction (AND), logical disjunction (OR), logical non-conjunction (NAND), logical non-disjunction (NOR), and logical exclusive disjunction (XOR) by changing applied voltages to the logic configuration electrodes.

    摘要: A method of flowing a current selectively with a nonvolatile switching device according to the present disclosure includes a step of configuring, in the nonvolatile switching device, any one of a first state in which a current does not flow between the electrode group, a second state in which a current flows selectively between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a third state in which a current flows selectively between the first electrode and the third electrode. When any one of the first state, the second state and the third state is configured, voltages V1, Va, Vb and Vc, which satisfy predetermined inequality set corresponding to the one of the first to third states, are applied to the control electrode, the first electrode, the second electrode, and the third electrode, respectively.

    摘要: In a non-volatile logic circuit, a first input electrode and a second input electrode are formed on a semiconductor layer and interposed between an electric current source electrode and an output electrode in a plan view. The semiconductor layer is disposed on a ferroelectric layer. A method of operating the non-volatile logic circuit includes a step of writing one state selected from four states by applying voltages to the first and second input electrode, respectively, a step of measuring current generated by applying the voltage between the electric current source electrode and the output electrode to determine, on the basis of the measured current, which of the high or low resistant state the non-volatile logic circuit has.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory cell includes: a memory element formed by a first field effect transistor having a gate insulating film made of a ferroelectric film; and a select switching element formed by a second field effect transistor having a gate insulating film made of a paraelectric film. The ferroelectric film and the paraelectric film are stacked together with a semiconductor film of a compound semiconductor interposed therebetween. A first gate electrode of the first field effect transistor is formed on a side of the ferroelectric film, and a second gate electrode of the second field effect transistor is formed on a side of the paraelectric film so as to face the first gate electrode. The semiconductor film forms a common channel layer of the first and second field effect transistors.

    摘要: A non-volatile logic circuit includes a control electrode, a ferroelectric layer disposed on the control electrode, a semiconductor layer disposed on the ferroelectric layer, a power electrode and an output electrode disposed on the semiconductor layer, and first to fourth input electrodes disposed on the semiconductor layer. The first and second input electrodes receive first and second inputs, respectively.
