Abstract: A technique for erasing a ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET) memory circuit comprising a plurality memory cells comprising FeFETs is described. Each FeFET comprises a gate stack, a source, a drain, a channel and a bulk substrate region, where the gate stack comprises a gate and a ferroelectric layer disposed between the gate and the channel. A positive or a negative voltage is applied to the source and drain regions of at least one FeFET memory cell depending on the channel type. The gate and bulk substrate regions are held at a ground state during said applying of the positive voltage to the source and drain regions of the FeFET memory cell to cause erasure of the at least one FeFET memory cell. In addition, a FeFET is described with a charge storage layer disposed adjacently to the ferroelectric layer within the gate stack.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a ferroelectric memory cell. In one embodiment, the ferroelectric memory cell includes a first oxide storage layer, a second oxide storage layer, and an amorphous layer disposed between the first and second oxide storage layers. Each of the first and second oxide storage layers includes a ferroelectric material that is at least partially in a ferroelectric state and further includes, as main components, oxygen and any of the group consisting of Hf, Zr and (Hf,Zr).

Abstract: In an axial flow turbine with a row of individually adjustable guide vanes (8) and a row of rotor blades (5), the guide vanes can be rotated by an adjusting shaft (9) supported in a casing (4) and passing through a vane carrier (3). The tips of the rotor blades seal against a cover (7). In order to match the duct contour to different heights of blading (5, 8), only the vane carrier (3) and the cover (7) are designed to be exchangeable, with otherwise unaltered machine geometry.
