    Abstract: A three-terminal semiconductor transistor device comprises a semiconductor base region in contact with a first electric terminal, a conductive emitter region in contact with the semiconductor base region, forming a first Schottky barrier junction at the interface of the conductive emitter region and the semiconductor base region. The conductive emitter region is in contact with a second electric terminal. The three-terminal semiconductor transistor device further includes a conductive collector region in contact with the semiconductor base region, forming a second Schottky barrier junction at the interface of the conductive collector region and the semiconductor base region. The conductive collector region is in contact with a third electric terminal. The tunneling currents through the first and the second Schottky barrier junctions are substantially controlled by the voltage of the semiconductor base region.

    Abstract: A quantum wire device includes a barrier formed by an insulator or a wide bandgap semiconductor, and metal quantum wires comprising a metal material and embedded in the barrier. Potential wells are formed for electrons in the metal quantum wires by the insulator or the wide bandgap semiconductor. The work function of the metal quantum wires is reduced by quantum confinement compared to a bulk form of the metal material. The metal quantum wires are electrically connected. The metal quantum wires include an exposed active area for electron emission or electron collection.

    Abstract: A novel FLASH-based EEPROM cell, decoder, and layout scheme are disclosed to eliminate the area-consuming divided triple-well in cell array and allows byte-erase and byte-program for high P/E cycles. Furthermore, the process-compatible FLASH cell for EEPROM part can be integrated with FLASH and ROM parts so that a superior combo, monolithic, nonvolatile memory is achieved. Unlike all previous arts, the novel combo nonvolatile memory of the present invention of ROM, EEPROM and FLASH or combination of any two is made of one unified, fully compatible, highly-scalable BN+ cell and unified process. In addition, its cell operation schemes have zero array overhead and zero disturbance during P/E operations. The novel combo nonvolatile memory is designed to meet the need in those markets requiring flexible write size in units of bytes, pages and blocks at a lower cost.
