摘要： A floating gate memory device comprises a channel for conducting carriers from source to drain, a semiconductor heterostructure forming a potential well (floating gate) for confining carriers sufficiently proximate the channel so as to at least partially deplete it, and a graded bandgap injector region between the control gate and the floating gate for controlling the injection of carriers into and out of the potential well. Also described is a three element memory cell, including the memory device and two FETs, which operates from a constant, non-switched supply voltage and two-level control voltages. Arrays of memory devices may also be used to detect light in a variety of applications such as imaging.

摘要： A semiconductor laser comprises an active region (12) which, in response to a pumping energy applied thereto, can produce a stimulated emission of radiation with a central wavelength (λ) in the far infrared region, and a confinement region (16, 18, 22) suitable for confining the radiation in the active region (12), and comprising at least one interface (16a, 16b, 22a) between adjacent layers that is capable of supporting surface plasmon modes generated by an interaction of the interface with the radiation. The confinement region (16, 18, 22) comprises a wave-guide layer (16) which is delimited on opposite sides by a first interface and by a second interface (16a, 16b). The guide layer (16) is doped in a manner such that the first and second interfaces (16a, 16b) are capable of supporting the plasmon modes, respectively, and is of a thickness (d) such as to bring about the accumulation of the plasmon modes in proximity to the first and second interfaces (16a, 16b), outside the layer (16), and substantially a suppression of the plasmon modes, inside the layer.

摘要： Herein described is a device for controlling fluid motion in a micro/nanofluidic structure of channels, comprising: a structured volume of material (30), bearing a predetermined configuration of micro/nanofluidic channels (C) for holding and transferring amounts of fluids, adapted to define at least one fluid inlet (IN) and at least one fluid outlet (OUT), and presenting a hydrophobic behaviour for the fluids to be handled; and a substrate (31) made of material with piezoelectric properties, coupled to the abovementioned configuration of micro/nanofluidic channels, bearing means for active control of the motion of an amount of fluid, including transducer means (T1-T6) which comprise at least one pair of interdigitated electrodes applied on the substrate (31), which are arranged to selectively generate a surface acoustic wave adapted to propagate on the substrate (31) and interact with the amount of fluid. The transducer devices (T1-T6) are arranged in proximity to a fluid outlet (OUT) of the configuration of channels in such a manner to generate a surface acoustic wave propagating from the fluid outlet (OUT) to a fluid inlet (IN) of the abovementioned configuration and, due to the hydrophobic condition in the channel (C) in which an amount of fluid is localised, determine an effective force at the air-liquid interface where the acoustic wave meets the liquid, whereby the motion of the amount of fluid is induced towards the direction opposite to the surface acoustic wave propagation direction.
