    摘要: A method for forming mixed high voltage/low voltage (HV/LV) transistors for CMOS devices is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, depletion of the gate conductor is controlled by leaving a fixed region of the gate conductor intrinsic, or lightly doped, thus separating the heavily doped low resistivity portion of the electrode with an intrinsic region by use of a conducting dopant barrier. The barrier is conductive in nature, but acts as a well-controlled diffusion barrier, stopping the “fast” diffusion which normally takes place in polysilicon, and eliminating diffusion between the conductors. Thereby, the device performance may be precisely predicted by carefully controlling the gate conductor thickness.

    摘要: Inverter circuits and NAND circuits comprising nanotube based FETs and methods of making the same are described. Such circuits can be fabricating using field effect transistors comprising a source, a drain, a channel region, and a gate, wherein the first channel region includes a fabric of semiconducting nanotubes of a given conductivity type. Such FETs can be arranged to provide inverter circuits in either two-dimension or three-dimensional (stacked) layouts. Design equations based upon consideration of the electrical characteristics of the nanotubes are described which permit optimization of circuit design layout based upon constants that are indicative of the current carrying capacity of the nanotube fabrics of different FETs.

    摘要: A non-volatile resistive memory is provided. The memory includes at least one non-volatile memory cell and selection circuitry. Each memory cell has a two-terminal nanotube switching device having and a nanotube fabric article disposed between and in electrical communication with two conductive terminals. Selection circuitry is operable to select the two-terminal nanotube switching device for read and write operations. Write control circuitry, responsive to a control signal, supplies write signals to a selected memory cell to induce a change in the resistance of the nanotube fabric article, the resistance corresponding to an informational state of the memory cell. Resistance sensing circuitry in communication with a selected nonvolatile memory cell, senses the resistance of the nanotube fabric article and provides the control signal to the write control circuitry. Read circuitry reads the corresponding informational state of the memory cell.
