Abstract: Disclosed is threshold voltage (VT)-programmable field effect transistor (FET)-based memory cell including a first transistor and a second transistor (which has an electric-field based programmable VT) connected in series between two voltage source lines. The gates of the transistors are connected to different wordlines and a sense node is at the junction between the two transistors. In preferred embodiments, the first transistor is a PFET and the second transistor is an NFET. Different operating modes (e.g., write 0 or 1 and read) are achieved using specific combinations of voltage pulses on the wordlines and voltage source lines. The memory cell is non-volatile, exhibits relatively low leakage, and has a relatively small footprint as compared to a conventional memory cell. Also disclosed are a look-up table (LUT) incorporating multiple threshold voltage (VT)-programmable field effect transistor (FET)-based memory cells and associated methods.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) structure with a waveguide core having tapered sidewall liner(s) (e.g., symmetric tapered sidewall liners on opposing sides of a waveguide core, asymmetric tapered sidewall liners on opposing sides of a waveguide core, or a tapered sidewall liner on one side of a waveguide core). In some embodiments, the tapered sidewall liner(s) and waveguide core have different refractive indices. In an exemplary embodiment, the waveguide core is a first material (e.g., silicon) and the tapered sidewall liner(s) is/are a second material (e.g., silicon nitride) with a smaller refractive index than the first material. In another exemplary embodiment, the waveguide core is a first compound and the tapered sidewall liner(s) is/are a second compound with the same elements (e.g., silicon and nitrogen) as the first compound but with a smaller refractive index. Also disclosed are method embodiments for forming such a PIC structure.

Abstract: Disclosed is an input buffer with hysteresis-integrated voltage protection devices for avoiding violations of maximum gate-to-source voltage limitations when the maximum input voltage is greater than the maximum gate-to-source voltage limitation. The input buffer includes a chain of transistors including two P-channel FETs (PFETs) and two N-channel FETs (NFETs). The data input to the input buffer controls the gates of the transistors in the chain so the data output from the input buffer at the junction between the PFETs and NFETs is inverted. The input buffer also includes a hysteresis feedback loop to prevent noise-induced switching of the output. The hysteresis feedback loop also includes voltage protection devices integrated therein to avoid maximum gate-to-source violations when the loop results in a hysteresis voltage being fed back into the chain at the source region of a transistor in the chain. Also disclosed is a receiver incorporating the input buffer.
