    摘要: A problem of a switching element using for the active layer a carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersion film that can be manufactured at low temperature has been that sufficient electrical contact and thermal conductivity between the CNTs and the source and drain electrode surfaces are not obtained. The switching element of the present invention has a structure in which a mixed layer of carbon nanotubes and a metal material, and a metal layer of the metal material are laminated in this order on source and drain electrodes, and thereby, the CNT-dispersed film and the electrode surfaces can be in firm electrical, mechanical, and thermal contact with each other. Thus, a switching element exhibiting good and stable transistor characteristics is obtained with a low-temperature, convenient, and low-cost process.

    摘要: A matrix array of memory cells are located on intersections of word lines and sense lines. Each memory cell has a magnetoresistance element and a switching element which establishes a connection between a corresponding sense line and the magnetoresistance element when a corresponding word line is addressed. A number of sense circuits are respectively provided for the sense lines. Each sense circuit includes a capacitive element connected to the corresponding sense line and a switching element for applying a voltage to the capacitive element and causing it to discharge when the corresponding sense line is addressed. The voltage developed across the capacitive element of each sense circuit is used to produce a binary output signal representative of information stored in an address memory cell. A number of voltage control elements are provided for maintaining the sense lines at constant lower voltages regardless of higher voltages produced by the sense circuits.
