摘要:
A semiconductor memory cell has a field-effect transistor device and a ferroelectric storage capacitor. The field-effect transistor device has a channel region that includes or is made of an organic semiconductor material. Besides a first gate electrode of the gate electrode configuration of the field-effect transistor device, an additional selection gate electrode is provided, by way of which the field-effect transistor device can be switched off without influencing the storage dielectric and independently of the first gate electrode.

For particularly flexible and space-saving information storage, in the case of a floating gate memory cell and a corresponding semiconductor memory device, the invention includes providing a floating gate configuration with a plurality of floating gates. Each of the floating gates is configured for substantially independent information storage. As a result, a plurality of information units can be stored independently of one another in the memory cell.

When fabricating a memory cell with an organic storage layer which stores a digital information item, processing of polycrystalline and monocrystalline semiconductor structures in which high temperatures are employed is concluded prior to application of the organic storage layer.
摘要:
A memory cell patterned as a trench transistor is provided with a first gate electrode (4) as auxiliary gate for source-side injection and a second gate electrode (5) electrically insulated therefrom, which are arranged in the trench, and has, at the trench walls, a storage layer sequence (10) provided for charge trapping and comprising a storage layer (12) between boundary layers (11, 13). The first gate electrode (4) and the second gate electrode (5) are electrically insulated from one another, which can be effected by means of a portion of the storage layer sequence (10). Source/drain regions (3) are arranged on the top side laterally with respect to the trenches. Word lines (6), source/drain lines and control gate lines are present for the electrical driving.
摘要:
Charge-trapping regions are arranged beneath lower edges of the gate electrode separate from one another. Source/drain regions are formed in self-aligned manner with respect to the charge-trapping regions by means of a doping process at low energy in order to form shallow junctions laterally extending only a small distance beneath the charge-trapping regions. The self-alignment ensures a large number of program-erase cycles with high effectiveness and good data retention, because the locations of the injections of charge carriers of opposite signs are narrowly and exactly defined.

Capacitor devices are formed in an essentially vertically extending fashion in order to achieve an essentially three-dimensional configuration or a configuration extending into the third dimension. A contacting of plug regions is performed after producing the capacitor devices. Such capacitor devices provide an increased integration density in a semiconductor memory device.
