摘要: An MFMIS-FET includes a MOSFET having a three-dimensional structure that allows the MOSFET to have an effective area that is greater than the footprint of the MFM or the MOSFET. In some embodiment, the gate electrode of the MOSFET and the bottom electrode of the MFM are united. In some, they have equal areas. In some embodiments, the MFM and the MOSFET have nearly equal footprints. In some embodiments, the effective area of the MOSFET is much greater than the effective area of the MFM. These structures reduce the capacitance ratio between the MFM structure and the MOSFET without reducing the area of the MFM structure in a way that would decrease drain current.

摘要: A memory array and a structure of the memory array are provided. The memory array includes flash transistors, word lines and bit lines. The flash transistors are arranged in columns and rows. The flash transistors in each column are in serial connection with one another. The word lines are respectively coupled to gate terminals of a row of the flash transistors. The bit lines are respectively coupled to opposite ends of a column of the flash transistors. Band-to-band tunneling current at a selected flash transistor is utilized as read current during a read operation. The BTB tunneling current flows from one of the source/drain terminals of the selected flash transistor to the substrate, rather than flowing from one of the source/drain terminals to the other. As a result, charges stored in multiple programming sites of each flash transistor can be respectively sensed.
