    摘要: An electronic semiconductor device has a sublithographic contact area between a first conductive region and a second conductive region. The first conductive region is cup-shaped and has vertical walls which extend, in top plan view, along a closed line of elongated shape. One of the walls of the first conductive region forms a first thin portion and has a first dimension in a first direction. The second conductive region has a second thin portion having a second sublithographic dimension in a second direction transverse to the first dimension. The first and the second conductive regions are in direct electrical contact at their thin portions and form the sublithographic contact area. The elongated shape is chosen between rectangular and oval elongated in the first direction. Thereby, the dimensions of the contact area remain approximately constant even in presence of a small misalignment between the masks defining the conductive regions.

    摘要: Presented is a memory cell integrated in a semiconductor substrate that includes a MOS device connected in series to a capacitive element. The MOS device has first and second conduction terminals, and the capacitive element has a lower electrode covered with a layer of a dielectric material and capacitively coupled to an upper electrode. The MOS device is overlaid by at least one metallization layer that is covered with at least one top insulating layer. The capacitive element is formed on the top insulating layer. The cell is unique in that the metallization layer extends only between the MOS device and the capacitive element.

    摘要: A streaming programming mode may be implemented on user command in a phase change memory. In the streaming programming mode, accelerated programming may be achieved by ramping up to a voltage that it used for both reading and programming. Repeated programming operations may be streamed after one ramp up without ramping down the voltage on the memory cells between programming operations. This may save time. In addition, the memory may be read in between programming operations, again, without necessarily ramping down.
