    摘要: A system and method for bidirectionally based electrical information storage, processing and communication. Bidirectional memory (tristate) offers the capability to store and interpret multiple bits (Shannon's) of information per memory cell, for structures such as dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), and read-only memory (ROM), and communication circuits, for operation, rather than traditional memory able to store a single "bit" (Shannon) of information per cell. Where, instead of traditional memory cells capable of two possible states (binary digit) and a single defined bit (1 Shannon), bidirectional memory is capable of three states (tristate), where the third information representing state can be a specifically defined state capable of representing multiple bits (multiple Shannon's) for each individual cell, which may be defined to represent a specific sequence of bits (sequence of Shannon's). Additionally, the 3 rd information state of a tristate bidirectional memory cell may be expressed as in a state of constant variability (superposition), where the final determined state may be based on a probabilistic outcome, or probability controlled. The disclosed system and method allows for more complex systems for information storage, compression, processing, communication, and more secure encryption of stored or communicated information.

    摘要: A method of forming a non- volatile memory cell includes forming spaced apart first and second regions in a substrate, defining a channel region there between. A floating gate is formed over a first portion of the channel region and over a portion of the first region, wherein the floating gate includes a sharp edge disposed over the first region. A tunnel oxide layer is formed around the sharp edge. An erase gate is formed over the first region, wherein the erase gate includes a notch facing the sharp edge, and wherein the notch is insulated from the sharp edge by the tunnel oxide layer. A word line gate is formed over a second portion of the channel region which is adjacent to the second region. The forming of the word line gate is performed after the forming of the tunnel oxide layer and the erase gate.

    摘要: Multi-gate NOR flash thin-film transistor (TFT) string arrays ("multi-gate NOR string arrays") are organized as stacks of horizontal active strips running parallel to the surface of a silicon substrate, with the TFTs in each stack being controlled by vertical local word-lines provided along one or both sidewalls of the stack of active strips. Each active strip includes at least a channel layer formed between two shared source or drain layers. Data storage in the TFTs of an active strip is provided by charge-storage elements provided between the active strip and the control gates provided by the adjacent local word-lines. Each active strip may provide TFTs that belong to one or two NOR strings, depending on whether one or both sides of the active strip are used.

    摘要: A CMOS anti-fuse cell is disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus includes an N- well and an anti-fuse cell formed on the N- well. The anti-fuse cell includes a drain P+ diffusion deposited in the N- well, a source P+ diffusion deposited in the N- well, and an oxide layer deposited on the N- well and having an overlapping region that overlaps the drain P+ diffusion. A control gate is deposited on the oxide layer. A data bit of the anti-fuse cell is programmed when a voltage difference between the control gate and the drain P+ diffusion exceeds a voltage threshold of the oxide layer and forms a leakage path from the control gate to the drain P+ diffusion. The leakage path is confined to occur in the overlapping region.
