    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and memory device for storing and reading data. In one embodiment, the probe is positioned proximate to an area of a solid electrolyte layer in which the data is to be stored. A voltage difference is created across the solid electrolyte layer by applying a first voltage to a first side of the solid electrolyte layer via a tip of the probe and applying a second voltage to a second side of the solid electrolyte layer via an electrode layer coupled to the solid electrolyte layer. The voltage difference applied across the solid electrolyte layer causes ions from the electrode layer to be introduced into the solid electrolyte layer, creating a lowered resistance in the solid electrolyte layer. The lowered resistance corresponds to a first logical value stored in the solid electrolyte layer.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing data errors in a magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM). According to the disclosed method, data bits and associated error correction code (ECC) check bits are stored into a storage area. Thereafter, the data bits and ECC check bits are read out and any errors are detected and corrected. A data refresh is then initiated based on a count and data bits and associated ECC check bits stored in the storage area are then refreshed by accessing the stored data bits and the associated ECC check bits, and ultimately by checking, correcting and restoring the data bits and the ECC check bits to the storage area.

    摘要: Disclosed is a multiple bank semiconductor memory (40) (e.g., DRAM) capable of overlapping write/read operation to/from memory cells of different banks (MAa, MAb), and having a space efficient layout. Chip size is kept small by employing a single column decoder (44) for different banks, and a hierarchical column select line architecture, with bit line switches (59, 61, 63, 65) of different columns having a shared active area such as a common source region. In an illustrative embodiment, global column select lines (GCSL.sub.1 -GCSL.sub.(N/K)) selectively activate global bit line switches (67, 68) which are coupled to bank-specific data lines (LDQ, LDQ). Several bank bit line switches (59-66) are coupled to each global bit line switch, with two or more bank bit line switches of different columns having a shared diffusion region to realize a compact layout.

    摘要: The semiconductor memory includes a memory cell array (10) of memory cells arranged in rows and columns, and a plurality of diagonal bit lines (BLP.sub.1 -BLP.sub.N) arranged in a pattern that changes horizontal direction along the memory cell array to facilitate access to said memory cells. The bit lines are arranged non-orthogonal to a plurality of dual word lines (WL.sub.1 -WL.sub.M), where each dual word line includes a master word line (MWL.sub.i) at a first layer and a plurality of local word lines (LWL.sub.1 -LWL.sub.X) at a second layer. The local word lines are connected to the master word line of a common row via a plurality of spaced electrical connections (29), e.g., electrical contacts in a "stitched" architecture, and each local word line is connected to plural memory cells (MC). The electrical connections run in substantially the same pattern along the memory cell array as the bit lines.

The objective preferably comprises at least one lens and one lens retainer.In the optical module, an optical element having two sub-areas is arranged either in the space between the objective and the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element or between individual lenses of the objective in the entire cross-section of the beam path. All electromagnetic radiation that reaches the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element passes through the optical element.A first distance range (e.g. near range) is imaged in a first area of the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element in a focused manner by a first sub-area of the optical element, and a second distance range (e.g. far range) is imaged in a second area of the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element by a second sub-area.
