  • Publication number: 20040252576
    Abstract: Method for fabricating a semiconductor memory element arrangement. A layer system, including a floating gate and a tunnel barrier arrangement formed on the floating gate, is formed on an electrically insulating layer. A first trench structure is formed in the layer system, and the first trench structure has first parallel trenches extending as far as the insulating layer. A second trench structure is formed in the layer system, and has second parallel trenches arranged perpendicular to the first trenches and extending as far as the insulating layer. First and second gate electrodes are formed in the first and second trench structures. The first gate electrode is adjacent to the floating gate through which first gate electrode electrical charge can be fed or can be dissipated from. The second gate electrode is adjacent to the tunnel barrier arrangement, and can control an electrical charge transmission of the tunnel barrier arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20040219731
    Abstract: The invention relates to a molecular electronics arrangement comprising a substrate, at least one first strip conductor having a surface and being arranged in or on the substrate, a spacer which is arranged on the surface of the at least one first strip conductor and which partially covers the surface of the at least one first strip conductor, and at least one second strip conductor which is arranged on the spacer and comprises a surface which faces the surface of the at least one first strip conductor in a plane manner. The spacer partially covers the surface of the at least one second strip conductor, and defines a pre-determined distance between the at least one first strip conductor and the at least one second strip conductor.

  • Patent number: 6798000
    Abstract: A field-effect transistor that having a nanowire, which forms a source region, a channel region and a drain region of the field-effect transistor, the nanowire being a semiconducting and/or metallically conductive nanowire. The field-effect transistor also has at least one nanotube, which forms a gate region of the field-effect transistor, the nanotube being a semiconducting and/or metallically conductive nanotube. The nanowire and the nanotube are arranged at a distance from one another or set up in such a manner that it is substantially impossible for there to be a tunneling current between the nanowire and the nanotube, and that the conductivity of the channel region of the nanowire can be controlled by means of a field effect as a result of an electric voltage being applied to the nanotube.

  • Publication number: 20040175742
    Abstract: A method for detecting macromolecular biopolymers using a macromolecular biopolymer immobilizing unit integrated in or mounted on a substrate. The macromolecular biopolymer immobilizing unit is provided with capture molecules that bind macromolecular biopolymers. A sample is brought into contact with the macromolecular biopolymer immobilizing unit, and the sample contains the macromolecular biopolymers to be detected and bound to the capture molecules. Any capture molecules to which no macromolecular biopolymers have bound are removed, and then generation of a chemiluminescence signal is induced using a label located on the capture molecules. The chemiluminescence signal is detected using a detection unit, which is an integrated circuit in the substrate, resulting in the macromolecular biopolymers being detected.

  • Publication number: 20040096866
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detecting macromolecular biopolymers by means of an electrode arrangement that comprises a first and a second electrode. The inventive method is characterized by carrying out a first electrical measurement on the electrodes. In a further step, a solution to be examined, which may contain the macromolecular biopolymers to be detected, is contacted with the electrode arrangement. In another step, the macromolecular biopolymers to be detected that are contained it the solution to be examined are bound to the scavenger molecules on the first and on the second electrode and the electrode arrangement is contacted with a reagent to increase conductivity of the macromolecular biopolymers, said reagent binding to the macromolecular biopolymers and bestowing them with electroconductivity.

  • Patent number: 6730930
    Abstract: A memory element with organic material comprises two metallized layers, arranged one on top of the other, with first lines and second lines which are arranged to intersect with each other. A channel is formed at the intersections between the first line and the second line, which overlaps the first line partially and completely overlaps the second line. The channels are filled with a filling material, the electrical conductivity of which may be altered by an applied electrical voltage.
