    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for nanoenabled memory devices and anisotropic charge carrying arrays are described. In an aspect, a memory device includes a substrate, a source region of the substrate, and a drain region of the substrate. A population of nanoelements is deposited on the substrate above a channel region, the population of nanolements in one embodiment including metal quantum dots. A tunnel dielectric layer is formed on the substrate overlying the channel region, and a metal migration barrier layer is deposited over the dielectric layer. A gate contact is formed over the thin film of nanoelements. The nanoelements allow for reduced lateral charge transfer. The memory device may be a single or multistate memory device. In a multistate memory device which comprises one or more quantum dots or molecules having a plurality of discrete energy levels, a method is disclosed for charging and/or discharging the device which comprises filling each of the plurality of discrete energy levels of each dot or molecule with one or more electrons, and subsequently removing individual electrons at a time from each discrete energy level of the one or more dots or molecules.

    摘要: Disclosed is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device and method of manufacturing the same. In one aspect, MEMS such as an interferometric modulator include one or more elongated interior posts and support rails supporting a deformable reflective layer, where the elongated interior posts are entirely within an interferometric cavity and aligned parallel with the support rails. In another aspect, the interferometric modulator includes one or more elongated etch release holes formed in the deformable reflective layer and aligned parallel with channels formed in the deformable reflective layer defining parallel strips of the deformable reflective layer.

    摘要: A solid state image sensing device comprises an array of picture sensing elements which are MOS transistors formed on a bulk of semiconductor material. The transistors are of a V-MOS configuration and have respective sources, V-shaped gates, and drains. The source-to-bulk diode of a V-MOS picture sensing element functions as a photodiode and is disposed near the surface of the array to receive a respective portion of imagewise illumination. In a preferred embodiment, the drain of the V-MOS picture sensing element is buried in the bulk directly beneath its respective source. The source, in conjunction with its gate, acts as a multiplex switch for the photodiode.

    摘要: In the operation of a high density quadrilinear CCD imaging array, photogenerate charge is transferred from the photosites, transversely through one inner CCD register to a second outer CCD register, before clocking the CCD registers. During the transfer from the inner to the outer registers, the signal charge passes through a region defined by boundaries spaced relatively widely to a region in which the boundaries are required to be spaced closely. In the latter region, two dimensional fringing fields from the boundaries elevate the minimum potential which defines the signal charge path and creates a potential step which traps a significant percentage of the signal charge. This trapping creates a large offset between the output signals from the inner and outer register. The concept proposed is to use a fat zero, i.e., an intentionally introduced small packet of charge, injected into the input of both the inner and outer CCD registers in order to totally eliminate the offset. The input structure for fat zero injection would be designed so that the size of the fat zero would be determined by the same factors creating the potential step, thereby totally eliminating any charge loss from the signal packet during the initial transfer from the photosites, and eliminating any dependance on processing variations.
