    摘要: A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structure includes source and drain regions formed within a semiconductor substrate, a first conducting layer formed over the source and drain regions, and a dielectric layer formed over the first conducting layer. The MIM capacitor structure further includes a second conducting layer formed over the dielectric layer, and a sidewall dielectric formed adjacent the first conducting layer and the dielectric layer. An electric field is created indirectly through the sidewall dielectric to an adjacent field effect transistor (FET) channel in the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A method for forming a floating gate memory cell includes: forming an active region on a semiconductor substrate; forming a gate stack on the active region, the gate stack including a first gate layer defining a floating gate of the memory cell structure, a dielectric layer formed on the first gate layer, and a second gate layer defining a control gate of the memory cell structure formed on the dielectric layer; forming first and second source/drain regions in the active region, self-aligned with the gate stack; forming an erase/injection gate on at least a portion of the dielectric layer and spaced laterally from the control gate, the erase/injection gate being proximate to and above the floating gate; and forming multiple contacts providing electrical connection with the first and second source/drain regions, the control gate and the erase/injection gate.

    摘要: A substrate's embedded substrate contact electrode forms a reference voltage point. A gate insulator is spaced outwardly from the substrate and has an exposed outer surface configured for contact with a fluid analyte. A device region is intermediate the substrate and the gate insulator; source and drain regions are adjacent the device region; and a field insulator is spaced outwardly of the drain region, the source region, and the substrate away from the device region. The gate insulator and the field oxide are formed of different materials having different chemical sensitivities to the fluid analyte. The field insulator is coupled to the substrate through the field insulator capacitance. The gate insulator capacitance is much smaller than the field insulator capacitance. The embedded substrate contact electrode can be connected to a separate voltage so that the electrical potential between the substrate and the source region can be controlled.

    摘要: A piezoelectronic switch device for radio frequency (RF) applications includes a piezoelectric (PE) material layer and a piezoresistive (PR) material layer separated from one another by at least one electrode, wherein an electrical resistance of the PR material layer is dependent upon an applied voltage across the PE material layer by way of an applied pressure to the PR material layer by the PE material layer; and a conductive, high yield material (C-HYM) comprising a housing that surrounds the PE material layer, the PR material layer and the at least one electrode, the C-HYM configured to mechanically transmit a displacement of the PE material layer to the PR material layer such that applied voltage across the PE material layer causes an expansion thereof and an increase the applied pressure to the PR material layer, thereby causing a decrease in the electrical resistance of the PR material layer.
