    摘要: For the operation of a memory cell arrangement with MOS transistors as memory cells that comprise a dielectric triple layer (5) with a first silicon oxide layer (51), a silicon nitride layer (52) and a second silicon oxide layer (53) as gate dielectric, whereby the silicon oxide layers are respectively at least 3 nm thick, a first cutoff voltage value is allocated to a first logical value and a second cutoff voltage value of the MOS transistor is allocated to a second logical value for storing digital data. The information stored in the memory cell can be modified by applying corresponding voltage levels, although a complete removal of charge stored in the silicon nitride layer is not possible because of the thickness of the silicon oxide layers. What is exploited when modifying the cutoff voltage is that the electrical field in the dielectric triple layer is distorted by charge stored in the silicon nitride layer.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a capacitor for a semiconductor memory configuration. In this case, a selectively etchable material is applied to a conductive support, which is connected to a semiconductor body via a contact hole in an insulator layer, and patterned. A first conductive layer is applied thereon and patterned. A hole is introduced into the first conductive layer, through which hole the selectively etchable material is etched out. A cavity is produced under the first conductive layer in the process. The inner surface of the cavity and the outer surface of the first conductive layer are provided with a dielectric layer, to which a second conductive layer is applied and patterned.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a dopant region is disclosed. The dopant region is formed by providing a semiconductor substrate that has a surface. An electrically insulating intermediate layer is applied to the surface. A doped semiconductor layer is then applied to the electrically insulating intermediate layer, the semiconductor layer being of a first conductivity type and contains a dopant of the first conductivity type. A temperature treatment of the semiconductor substrate at a predefined diffusion temperature is performed, so that the dopant diffuses partially out of the semiconductor layer through the intermediate layer into the semiconductor substrate and forms there a dopant region of the first conductivity type. The electrical conductivity of the intermediate layer is modified, so that an electrical contact between the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor layer is produced through the intermediate layer.

    摘要: On a carrier a layer sequence is applied which contains alternatingly layers made of a first conducting material and a second material in which both materials are different from a carrier material. An opening is made in the layer sequence, which is filled with a conducting material so that a central supporting structure is produced. Then the layer sequence is structured corresponding to the dimensions of a capacitor and the layers made of the second material are removed selectively, so that a first capacitor electrode is formed. The layer sequence may have especially p.sup.+ -/p.sup.- silicon layers or silicon/germanium layers. An etch-stop layer can also be incorporated as the lowest or second-lowest layer.

    摘要: A memory cell configuration in a semiconductor substrate is proposed, in which the semiconductor substrate is of the first conductivity type. Trenches which run parallel to one another are incorporated in the semiconductor substrate, and first address lines run along the side walls of the trenches. Second address lines are formed on the semiconductor substrate, transversely with respect to the trenches. Semiconductor substrate regions, in which a diode and a dielectric whose conductivity can be changed are arranged, are located between the first address lines and the second address lines. A suitable current pulse can be used to produce a breakdown in the dielectric, with information thus being stored in the dielectric.

    摘要: A bipolar transistor includes a first layer with a collector. A second layer has a base cutout for a base. A third layer includes a lead for the base. The third layer is formed with an emitter cutout for an emitter. An undercut is formed in the second layer adjoining the base cutout. The base is at least partially located in the undercut. In order to obtain a low transition resistance between the lead and the base, an intermediate layer is provided between the first and the second layer. The intermediate layer is selectively etchable with respect to the second layer. At least in the region of the undercut between the lead and the base, a base connection zone is provided that can be adjusted independent of other production conditions. The intermediate layer is removed in a contact region with the base.
