An intermesh memory device includes memory components that each have a determinable resistance value and electronic switches that each control current through one or more of the memory components such that a potential is applied to the memory components. A first electronic switch of the intermesh memory device is electrically coupled to an input of a memory component and a second electronic switch is electrically coupled to an output of the memory component. The first electronic switch and the second electronic switch are configured together to apply a potential to the memory component.
摘要:
Tunnel-junction structures are fabricated by any of a set of related methods that form two or more tunnel junctions simultaneously. The fabrication methods disclosed are compatible with conventional CMOS fabrication practices, including both single damascene and dual damascene processes. The simultaneously formed tunnel junctions may have different areas. In some embodiments, tub-well structures are formed with sloped sidewalls. In some embodiments, an oxide-metal-oxide film stack on the sidewall of a tub-well is etched to form the tunnel junctions. Memory circuits, other integrated circuit structures, substrates carrying microelectronics, and other electronic devices made by the methods are disclosed.

A method of creating a memory circuit preferably includes (1) forming a first plurality of select-lines in a plane substantially parallel to a substrate, (2) forming a second plurality of select-lines in a plane substantially parallel to the substrate, where the second plurality of select-lines is divided into first and second groups, where the first group is formed in a direction normal to that of the first plurality of select-lines and the second group is formed in a direction substantially diagonal to that of the first group, (3) forming a plurality of pillars normal to the substrate, and (4) forming an array of memory cells, each memory cell being respectively coupled to a pillar and one of each of said first and second pluralities of select-lines.
摘要:
Interconnection structures for integrated circuits have a first array of cells, at least a second array of cells parallel to the first array, and interconnections disposed for connecting cells of the first array with cells of the second array, at least some of the interconnections being disposed along axes oriented obliquely to the first and second arrays. First and second sets of oblique axes of interconnections may be parallel or opposed to each other. The interconnections may include obliquely slanted pillars or stair-stepped pillars disposed along the oblique axes. Methods for fabricating and using such structures are disclosed.

An optical disc of one embodiment of the invention is disclosed that includes a first surface, a second surface, an optically writable label area, and an optically writable data area. The first and the second surfaces are oppositely situated to one another. The label area is on one of the first and the second surfaces. The data area is on one of the first and the second surfaces. The mechanism aids proper focusing of an optical beam of an optical disc device on the optically writable label area and on the optically writable data area.
