A grid-shaped array of conductor areas is used for capacitive image acquisition. Shielding conductors are disposed in each case between the conductors that are provided for measurement. During a plurality of charging and discharging cycles, the potential is always carried along on the conductors belonging to a respective pixel in order to prevent displacement currents between the shielding capacitors. By way of example, a compensation line with a feedback operational amplifier can be used for identically altering the electrical potentials on the conductors.

An SRAM cell arrangement which includes six MOS transistors per memory cell wherein each transistor is formed as a vertical transistors. The MOS transistors are arranged at sidewalls of trenches. Parts of the memory cell such as, for example, gate electrodes or conductive structures fashioned as spacers are contacted via adjacent, horizontal, conductive structures arranged above a surface of a substrate. Connections between parts of memory cells occur via third conductive structures arranged at the sidewalls of the depressions and word lines via diffusion regions that are adjacent to the sidewalls of the depressions within the substrate, via first bit lines, via second bit lines and/or via conductive structures that are partially arranged at different heights with respect to an axis perpendicular to the surface. Contacts contact a plurality of parts of the MOS transistors simultaneously.

A semiconductor component with passivation includes at least two double passivating layers, of which an uppermost is applied to a planar surface of a layer located therebelow. The double passivating layers include two layers of different dielectric materials, for example silicon oxide and silicon nitride. The respective thicknesses of the individual passivating layers can be adapted to dimensions of the structuring of the layer to which the passivation is applied. This produces a reliable passivation which is particularly suitable for capacitively measuring fingerprint sensors.

For the manufacture of a memory cell arrangement with first memory cells that comprise a vertical MOS transistor and with second memory cells that do not comprise an MOS transistor, whereby the memory cells are arranged along opposite edges of strip-type trenches, memory cells that are adjacent along the trenches (5) are manufactured successively. The spacing of adjacent memory cells is determined in particular by means of a spacer technology. By this means, a space requirement per memory cell of 1F.sup.2 can be realized, whereby F is the minimum structural size of the respective technology.
摘要:
A grid of capacitor surfaces is connected to read lines and control lines. The read lines are connected alternately to the output of a feedback operational amplifier and to a collecting capacitor. The capacitances to be measured are charged repeatedly and the charges are collected on the collecting capacitors. Between the charging operations, the potential on the read lines is kept constant through the use of the low-resistance output of the operational amplifier. The use of this method in the case of a fingerprint sensor makes it possible to evaluate all the read lines together.

The SRAM cell arrangement comprises six MOS transistors per memory cell that are fashioned as vertical transistors. The MOS transistors are arranged at sidewalls of trenches (G1, G2, G4). Parts of the memory cell such as, for example, gate electrodes (Ga2, Ga4) or conductive structures (L3) fashioned as spacer are contacted via adjacent, horizontal, conductive structures (H5) arranged above a surface (O) of a substrate (S). Connections between parts of memory cells ensue via third conductive structures (L3) arranged at the sidewalls of the depressions and word lines (W) via diffusion regions (D2) that are adjacent to the sidewalls of the depressions within the substrate (S), via first bit lines, via second bit lines (B2) or/and via conductive structures (L1, L2, L6) that are partially arranged at different height with respect to an axis perpendicular to the surface (O). Contacts (K5) contact a plurality of parts of the MOS transistors simultaneously.
