    摘要: A variable conducting element (10) and method for programming a constant current or constant resistance provided at output terminals (24 and 26) of a ferroelectric transistor (12). The ferroelectric transistor (12) has portions of a ferroelectric material (32A) programmed having up-polarization states separated by domain walls (34) from portions of a ferroelectric material (32B) programmed having down-polarization states. The portion of the ferroelectric material (32A) programmed in the up-polarization state forms current conduction channels between a source region (23) and a drain region (25) of the ferroelectric transistor (12). The ferroelectric transistor (12) is programmed through a capacitor (14) to adjust the charge supplied to a control terminal (22) of the ferroelectric transistor (12).

    摘要: A method of fabricating a field effect transistor including doping a continuous blanket layer in a semiconductor substrate structure adjacent the surface to include a source area and a drain area spaced from the source area. A high dielectric constant insulator layer is positioned on the surface of the semiconductor substrate structure overlying the continuous blanket layer to define a gate area between the source and drain areas. A gate contact on the insulator layer is selected to provide a work function difference that depletes the doped layer beneath the insulator layer. Further, the doped layer depth and dosage are designed such that the doped layer is depleted beneath the insulator layer by the selected work function difference of the gate contact and the semiconductor substrate.
