    摘要: Neutron detection cells and corresponding methods of detecting charged particles that make efficient use of silicon area are set forth. Three types of circuit cells/arrays are described: state latching circuits, glitch generating cells, and charge loss circuits. An array of these cells, used in conjunction with a neutron conversion film, increases the area that is sensitive to a strike by a charged particle over that of an array of SRAM cells. The result is a neutron detection cell that uses less power, costs less, and is more suitable for mass production.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for integrating a submicron CMOS device and a non-volatile memory, wherein a thermal oxide layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate and a two layered polysilicon non-volatile memory device formed thereon. A portion of the thermal oxide is removed by etching, a thin gate oxide and a third layer of polysilicon having a submicron depth is deposited onto the etched region. The layer of polysilicon is used as the gate for the submicron CMOS device. In so doing a submicron CMOS device may be formed without subjecting the device to the significant re-oxidation required in formation processes for dual poly non-volatile memory devices such as EPROMs and EEPROMs, and separate device optimization is achieved.

    摘要: An apparatus providing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in an input/output transistor. Disposed near the gate and the surface of the substrate is a lightly doped region. A sidewall oxide layer is selectively etched to extend laterally from a gate a significant amount. The sidewall oxide layer is also etched on an opposite side of the gate and may laterally extend an appreciable amount in that direction. A heavily doped source and drain are implanted in the substrate at areas of the surface exposed by etching, the drain separated from the gate by the significant extent of sidewall oxide. Near the surface of the substrate, the drain is separated from the gate by a similar extent of the lightly doped region, which provides a resistance in series between the drain and gate for ESD protection. The source may also be separated from the gate by a lightly doped region of appreciable extent, which acts as a series resistance between the source and the gate to mitigate ESD. The extent of the sidewall oxide, and thus the lightly doped regions separating the gate from the drain and source, can be tailored to optimize ESD protection and performance characteristics for a given application by defocusing snapback conduction.

    摘要: An EEPROM transistor fabricated with a single polysilicon layer. An MOS transistor is fabricated with a subsurface electrode region defined by a stripe in a first direction. A layer of thin oxide is arranged in a second stripe, perpendicular to the first stripe and a polysilicon layer, arranged in a third stripe is disposed over the second stripe of thin oxide. An adjoining parallel plate capacitor is formed by a subsurface region of the same conductivity type as the subsurface electrodes in the first stripe. An insulative second plate of thin oxide is joined to the second stripe and a third plate of the capacitor is formed by a polysilicon plate over the oxide plate. Vertical metallization stripes in the first direction may contact with some components, while parallel metal stripes in a second layer in a perpendicular direction may contact with the remaining members. The stripe geometry allows lateral and vertical four-way symmetry for implementation of a large number of memory storage cells on a chip or wafer.
