摘要:
A memory cell configuration contains a multiplicity of memory cells in a semiconductor substrate. Each of the memory cells has a selection transistor connected between a bit line and a storage element. The memory cells can each be driven via a first word line and a second word line, the first word line and the second word line crossing one another. The memory cell configuration is, in particular, a DRAM configuration.

Parallel lines, for example bit lines in a memory cell configuration formed of doped regions in a semiconductor substrate, are driven by electrically connecting a number of the lines to one another and to a common node. A number of selection lines extend transversely to the lines. MOS transistors are arranged at the points of intersection and are connected in series along one of the lines. The gate electrode of the MOS transistors is formed by the corresponding selection line. At least one MOS transistor in each of the parallel lines has a higher threshold voltage than the others.

An integrated circuit contains a planar first transistor and a diode. The diode is connected between a first source/drain region of the first transistor and a gate electrode of the first transistor such that a charge is impeded from discharging from the gate electrode to the first source/drain region. A diode layer that is part of the diode is disposed on a portion of the first source/drain region. A conductive structure that is an additional part of the diode is disposed above a portion of the gate electrode and is disposed on the diode layer. The diode can be configured as a tunnel diode. The diode layer can be produced by thermal oxidation. Only one mask is required for producing the diode. A capacitor can be disposed above the diode. The first capacitor electrode of the capacitor is connected to the conductive structure.

An integrated dynamic memory cell having a small area of extent on a semiconductor substrate is described. The memory cell has a selection MOSFET with a gate connection area that is connected to a word line, a source connection doping area which is connected to a bit line, and a drain connection doping area. A memory MOSFET has a gate connection area which is connected via a thin dielectric layer to a connection doping region which connects a source connection doping area of the memory MOSFET to the drain connection doping area of the selection MOSFET. The memory MOSFET further has a drain connection doping area that is connected to a supply voltage. The selection and memory MOSFETs are disposed on opposite sidewalls of a trench, which is etched in the substrate, and the connection doping region forms a bottom of the trench.

A memory cell configuration with many ferroelectric or dynamic memory cells provided in a semiconductor substrate. Alternating trenches and lands extend parallel in a longitudinal direction of a main face of the semiconductor substrate. A channel stop layer is buried in the lands and divides the semiconductor substrate into a lower region that includes the trench bottoms and an upper region that includes the land ridges. First planar selection transistors with intervening trench channel stop regions are disposed along the trench bottoms. Second planar selection transistors with intervening land channel stop regions are disposed along the land ridges. The first and second selection transistors have respective source, gate, channel and drain regions, which are offset longitudinally from one another such that source and drain regions of the first and second selection transistors alternate in the transverse direction in the main face of the semiconductor substrate. Isolated word lines are provided which extend in the transverse direction along the main face for triggering the first and second selection transistors in the respective gate regions. Isolated bit lines are provided which extend in an oblique direction along the main face for connecting the first and second selection transistors in the respective source regions. And preferably ferroelectric capacitors are each connected to the drain regions of applicable selection transistors via capacitor contacts.

A method for producing a storage cell includes forming a polycrystalline silicon layer on a semiconductor body having at least one selection transistor disposed in a first plane. An interspace is formed between two adjacent structures of the layer and one of the adjacent structures of the layer is placed on a surface of a first silicon plug. A cell plate electrode is formed in the interspace and a trench is formed in the layer. The trench reaches as far as the first plug surface and is filled with an insulating layer. The-layer is removed. A storage capacitor having a high-epsilon or ferroelectric dielectric and a storage node electrode is formed. The capacitor is disposed in a second plane in and above the body. The insulating layer is replaced with silicon to form a second silicon plug directly connected to the first plug. The second plug is electrically connected to the storage node electrode, and the first plane is electrically connected to the second plane through the first and second plugs.

A memory transistor and a selection transistor of an image sensor are connected in series and between a bit line (B5) and a reference line (R5). A gate electrode of the selection transistor is connected to a word line (W5), which extends crosswise in relation to the bit line (B5). A diode of the image sensor is switched between a gate electrode (G5) of the memory transistor and a first source/drain area (S/D5) of the memory transistor, which is connected to the selection transistor in such a way is polarized towards the first source/drain area (S/D5) of the memory transistor and in the reverse direction. A photodiode of the image sensor is switched between a voltage connection and either the gate electrode (G5) of the memory transistor or the first source/drain area (S/D5) of the memory transistor in such a way that it is polarized towards the voltage connection and in the reverse direction.

摘要:
Each memory cell of a cell configuration includes at least one memory transistor. To write first or second information on the memory cell, a gate electrode of the memory transistor is charged such that a first voltage or a second voltage is applied in the memory transistor. A reading voltage is applied in a second source/drain area of the memory transistor to read first information and second information respectively. The first voltage is applied between the second voltage and the reading voltage. The reading voltage is applied between the first voltage less a threshold voltage of the memory transistor and the second voltage less the threshold voltage of the memory transistor.

A method for production of a read-only-memory cell arrangement having vertical MOS transistors is provided. In order to produce a read-only-memory cell arrangement which has first memory cells having a vertical MOS transistor and second memory cells which do not have a vertical MOS transistor, holes provided with a gate dielectric and a gate electrode are etched in a silicon substrate with a layer sequencing corresponding to a source, a channel and a drain for the first memory cells. Insulation trenches whose separation is preferably equal to their width are produced for insulation of adjacent memory cells.
