    摘要: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device include: a two terminal structured variable resistive element, wherein resistive characteristics defined by current-voltage characteristics at both ends transit between low and high resistance states stably by applying a voltage satisfying predetermined conditions to the both ends. A transition from the low resistance state to the high resistance state occurs by applying a voltage of a first polarity whose absolute value is at or higher than first threshold voltage, and the reverse transition occurs by applying a voltage of a second polarity whose absolute value is at or higher than a second threshold voltage. A load circuit is connected to the variable resistive element in series having an adjustable load resistance. A voltage generation circuit applies a voltage to both ends of a serial circuit. The variable resistive element can transit between the states by adjusting a resistance of the load circuit.

    摘要: An inexpensive nonvolatile memory having high performance which makes random write and readout possible an unlimited number of times is provided. A unit memory cell is formed of a MISFET having a channel body that is electrically isolated from a semiconductor substrate and a resistance change element having a two-terminal structure with one end electrically connected to a drain of the MISFET. The MISFET functions as a volatile memory element, and the resistance change element functions as a nonvolatile memory element, so that information stored in the MISFET is copied to the resistance change element before the power is turned OFF and information stored in the resistance change element is transferred to the MISFET when the power is turned ON, and thus, the MISFET is used as a volatile memory which makes random write and readout possible.

    摘要: Input signals are weighted by weighting means composed of variable resistors, each made of an oxide thin film with a perovskite structure containing manganese, which changes resistance at room temperature according to the cumulative number of times a pulse voltage was applied and holds the resistance in a nonvolatile manner. Then, the weighted signals are inputted to an arithmetic unit. The oxide thin film used as each of the variable resistors changes its resistance, according to the cumulative number of times the input pulse was applied, and further holds the resistance in a nonvolatile manner even after the power supply is cut off. Thus, by changing the weighting factor according to the cumulative number of times the pulse voltage was applied, a neuro element more resembling a neuron of the human being is realized.

    摘要: Perovskite materials having magnetoresistive effect under the influence of an electric field can be employed in the construction of nonvolatile solid state electro-optic modulator. These materials display nonvolatile changes in electrical resistance and reactant when subjected to an electric field. As with other known perovskite materials, this is accompanied by nonvolatile changes in electro-optic properties related to dispersion and absorption of electromagnetic radiation. The nonvolatility of these materials is exploited in the construction of nonvolatile display and nonvolatile solid state electro-optic modulators such as waveguide switch or phase or amplitude modulators.

    摘要: An interlayer insulating film having a connection hole and a line insulating film having a wiring groove are formed on a semiconductor substrate. The interlayer insulating film and the line insulating film are made principally of SiO2, and contain phosphorus and hydrocarbon. A copper wiring film that covers the connection hole and the wiring groove of the interlayer insulating film and the line insulating film is formed. Therefore, this semiconductor device is able to prevent the diffusion of copper into a low dielectric constant insulating film constructed of the interlayer insulating film and the line insulating film, reduce the dielectric constant and water absorptively of the low dielectric constant insulating film and reduce the cross-talk noises.
