摘要:
The provision of an isolation gate connecting unassociated active areas of adjacent transistors formed in a semiconductor substrate provides effective isolation of the adjacent transistors with no additional process steps required. The isolation gate is tied to a reference to ensure that a channel between the unassociated active areas is not formed, and effective isolation is provided. The adjacent transistors are cross coupled to form sense amplifiers for dynamic random access memory devices.
摘要:
Adjacent unassociated field-effect transistors are formed from a single continuous layer of uniformly doped material in a semiconductor substrate. An insulating layer is formed over the active layer. A number of gates in a conductive layer define the transistors. Forming a connection between one of the gates and a reference potential forms a boundary between the unassociated transistors across the active material by preventing carrier transport thereacross.
摘要:
A helper flip-flop device is coupled to a pair of I/O DIGIT lines in a DC bias current sensing based dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device for ensuring that one of the DIGIT lines returns to as low a voltage as possible following a memory access. A sense amplifier is coupled to the I/O lines to amplify the differential voltage appearing on the lines following access of a memory cell. The helper flip-flop, when activated at the same time the DC bias is removed, sinks current from the low line to ground, effectively reducing its voltage to near ground to allow faster release of the row access signal.

摘要:
A multilayer decoupling capacitor structure is disclosed, having a first decoupling capacitor with one electrode formed in a conductively doped silicon substrate and a second electrode made of conductively doped polysliicon. A third bifurcated conductive layer disposed above the second electrode in conjunction with a fourth conductive layer above the third layer form a second and third decoupling capacitor. The first decoupling capacitor serves to decouple circuitry associated with dynamic random access memory cells, while the second and third decoupling capacitors provide decoupling for further circuitry.

摘要:
A memory structure has a vertically oriented access transistor with an annular gate region. A transistor is fabricated such that the channel of the transistor extends outward with respect to the surface of the substrate. An annular gate is fabricated around the vertical channel such that it partially or completely surrounds the channel. A buried annular bitline may also be implemented. After the vertically oriented transistor is fabricated with the annular gate, a storage device may be fabricated over the transistor to provide a memory cell.
