  • Patent number: 10978487
    Abstract: An inverter includes a semiconductor substrate. A Z2-FET switch is disposed at a first surface of the semiconductor substrate and a further switch is disposed at the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The further switch and the Z2-FET switch have current paths coupled between a first reference terminal and a second reference terminal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10804275
    Abstract: A memory array includes memory cells of Z2-FET type arranged in rows and columns, wherein each memory cell includes a MOS-type selection transistor and a first region of a first conductivity type that is shared in common with a drain region of the first conductivity type of the selection transistors. The selection transistors of a same column of the memory array have a common drain region, a common source region, and a common channel region.

  • Publication number: 20190341478
    Abstract: A Z2-FET-type structure includes a first front gate, a second front gate, a first back gate doped with p-type dopants, and a second back gate doped with n-type dopants. The structure may also include a buried insulating layer between the front gates and the back gates, an anode region, a cathode region, and an intermediate region separating the anode region and the cathode region.

  • Patent number: 10312240
    Abstract: A microelectronic component is capable of being used as a memory cell. The component includes a semiconductor layer resting on an insulating layer and including a doped source region of a first conductivity type, a doped drain region of a second conductivity type, and an intermediate region, non-doped or more lightly doped, with the second conductivity type, than the drain region, the intermediate region including first and second portions respectively extending from the drain region and from the source region. An insulated front gate electrode rests on the first portion. A first back gate electrode and a second back gate electrode are arranged under the insulating layer, respectively opposite the first portion and the second portion.
