A floating gate type semiconductor non-volatile memory injects carriers from a carrier supply region to a floating gate by a phenomenon called "punch-through" injection in which a space charge region is formed in a semiconductor substrate between the carrier supply region and a carrier injection region so as to accelerate the carriers and inject them into the floating gate without forwardly biasing the carrier injection region or the substrate.

In the non-volatile semiconductor memory of present invention, a select gate and a floating gate are formed on the surface portion of the substrate between a source region and the drain region also acting as a control gate through a gate oxide film. A part of a channel current is injected into the floating gate at the surface portion under the edge of the floating gate covered by the select gate.

A thermosensitive semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate of one conductivity type which is used as the common collector of at least two Darlington-connected transistors. The base of the first stage transistor is connected to the common collector to form a first terminal and the emitter of the final stage transistor forms a second terminal. A constant current source is connected between the first and second terminals. To reduce deviations in the temperature response, a second collector region can be used and which can extend to a depth deeper than the depth of the emitter of the final stage transistor to absorb some of the carriers injected by the emitter.

A temperature detecting device comprises a semiconductor diode temperature sensor having a resistance characteristic which varies with variations in temperature, and a constant current circuit connected in series. A power source is connected in parallel with the series circuit and connected in parallel with a constant voltage circuit. A resistance ladder circuit is connected between an output terminal of the constant voltage circuit and one terminal of the power source, and an output terminal of the resistance ladder circuit is connected to a first input terminal of a differential amplifier. A second input terminal of the differential amplifier is connected to a connection point of the semiconductor diode and the constant current circuit. In operation, the voltage drops across cumulatively successive resistors of the resistance ladder circuit are compared with the voltage drop across the semiconductor diode temperature sensor by the differential amplifier and in response to a favorable comparison, the output logic state of the differential amplifier changes to thereby provide an output temperature signal.

The semiconductor nonvolatile memory has integrated memory cells, each being operative to carry out writing and reading of information in random-access basis and having an electric charge storage structure effective to memorize the information in nonvolatile state. The information is temporarily written into each memory cell in volatile state, and thereafter the temporarily written information is written at one into the respective electric charge storage structure of each memory cell, thereby effecting quick writing of nonvolatile information into the respective memory cells of multi-bits.

The invention provides a semi-conductor light valve device and a process for fabricating the same. The device comprises a composite substrate having a supporte substrate, a light-shielding thin film formed on said supporte substrate and semiconductive thin film disposed on the light-shielding thin film with interposing an insulating thin film. A switching element made of a transistor and a transparent electrode for driving light valve are formed on the semiconductive thin film, and the switching element and the transparent electrode are connected electrically with each other. The transistor includes a channel region in the semiconductive thin film and a main gate electrode for controlling the conduction in the channel region, and the light-shielding thin film layer is so formed as to cover the channel region on the side opposite to said channel region, so as to prevent effectively a back channel and shut off the incident light.

A light valve device has a drive substrate integrated with a drive electrode. A transistor is connected to the drive electrode and a driving circuit energizes the drive electrode through the transistor. An opposed substrate is provided opposed to the drive electrode, and an electrooptical material layer is disposed between the drive substrate and the opposed substrate. The drive substrate has a structure comprising a substrate layer and a semiconductor single crystal thin film layer. The semiconductor single crystal thin film layer is made by thinning a semiconductor single crystal wafer which has been bonded to the substrate layer. The light valve device has a small size and high pixel density and can be formed using miniaturization technology. The light valve can be used for a small size, high resolution video projector and a color matrix display device.
