    摘要: A method of making an n-channel metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MISFET) that exhibits negative differential resistance in its output characteristic (drain current as a function of drain voltage) is disclosed. By implanting ions into a substrate that is later thermally oxidized, a number of temporary charge trapping sites can be established above a channel region of a transistor. The channel is also heavily doped, so that a strong electrical field can be generated to accelerate hot carriers into the temporary charge trapping sites. The insulating layer formed during the oxidation step is made sufficiently thick to prevent quantum tunnelingo of the hot carriers into a gate electrode. Other suitable and conventional processing steps are used to finalize completion of the fabrication of the NDR device so that the entire process is compatible and achieved with CMOS processing techniques.

    摘要: A programmable non-volatile configuration circuit uses a pair of non-volatile memory devices arranged in a pull-up and pull-down arrangement. The non-volatile memory devices have floating gates that overlaps a variable portion of a source/drain region. This allows a programming voltage for the device to be imparted to the floating gate through variable capacitive coupling, thus changing the state of the device. The invention can be used in environments to store configuration data for programmable logic devices, field programmable arrays, and many other applications.

    摘要: A programmable non-volatile device is operated with a floating gate that functions as a FET gate that overlaps a portion of a source/drain region and allows for variable coupling through geometry and/or biasing conditions. This allows a programming voltage for the device to be imparted to the floating gate through variable capacitive coupling, thus changing the state of the device. Multi-state embodiments are also possible. The invention can be used in environments such as data encryption, reference trimming, manufacturing ID, security ID, and many other applications.
