Abstract:
A two-terminal memory cell includes a first P-type semiconductor layer, a first N-type semiconductor layer, a second P-type semiconductor layer, and a second N-type semiconductor layer arranged in sequence. A first data state may be stored in the memory cell by applying a forward bias, which is larger than a punch-through voltage VBO, between the first P-type semiconductor layer and the second N-type semiconductor layer. A second data state may be stored in the memory cell by applying a reverse bias, which is approaching to the reverse breakdown region of the memory cell, between the first P-type semiconductor layer and the second N-type semiconductor layer. In this way, the memory cell may be effectively used for data storage.

Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a FinFET, when a fin is formed, a dummy gate across the fin is formed on the fin, a source/drain opening is formed in both the cover layer and the first dielectric layer at both sides of the dummy gate, the source/drain opening is at both sides of the fin covered by the dummy gate and is an opening region surrounded by the cover layer and the first dielectric layer around it. In the formation of a source/drain region in the source/drain opening, stress is generated due to lattice mismatching, and applied to the channel due to the limitation by the source/drain opening in the first dielectric layer, thereby increasing the carrier mobility of the device, and improving the performance of the device.
