Abstract:
A tunneling field-effect transistor may be provided that includes: a substrate; a source which is formed on the substrate and into which p+ type impurity ion is injected; a drain which is formed on the substrate and into which n+ type impurity ion is injected; a plurality of vertically stacked nanowire channels which are formed on the substrate; a gate insulation layer which is formed on the plurality of nanowire channels; and a gate which is formed on the gate insulation layer. As a result, it is possible to generate a higher driving current without changing the length of the gate and the area of the channel (degree of integration).
Abstract:
A multi-bit capacitorless DRAM according to the embodiment of the present invention may be provided that includes: a substrate; a source and a drain formed on the substrate; a plurality of nanowire channels formed on the substrate; a gate insulation layer formed in the plurality of nanowire channels; and a gate formed on the gate insulation layer. Two or more nanowire channels among the plurality of nanowire channels have different threshold voltages. Each of the nanowire channels includes: a silicon layer; a first epitaxial layer which is formed to surround the silicon layer; and a second epitaxial layer which is formed to surround the first epitaxial layer. As a result, the high integration multi-bit capacitorless DRAM which operates at multi-bits can be implemented and a performance of accumulating excess holes can be improved by using energy band gap.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a hardware-based selective security apparatus and a security method using the same. The security apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a transistor including a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode composed of at least two electrodes; and a controller which selectively sets a security level 1 or a security level 2 by controlling a magnitude of a voltage which is applied to the gate electrode. According to the present invention, since there is no necessity of an additional space for a separate chip required by an existing hardware based security method, it is possible to obtain a recoverable hardware based security method which uses spaces usefully and has economic efficiency. Also, a recoverable security level and an irrecoverable security level are selectively applied, so that it is possible to implement an enhanced hardware-based security method.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a thermal hardware-based data security device that is capable of physically, hardware-wise, and permanently erasing data stored in a memory and of enabling a storage device to be reused, and a method thereof. The thermal hardware-based data security device includes: a memory chip capable of storing data; a heater module which supplies heat to permanently erase the data stored in a memory cell within the memory chip; and a switch module which short-circuits the heater module between a power supply unit and a ground when switched on, and thus, controls the heater module to be operated.
