  • Method for controlling characteristics of a semiconductor integrated by circuit X-ray bombardment
    Patent number: 4392893
    Abstract: The characteristics of integrated circuits, such as the gate threshold voltage (Vtx) of insulated gate field effect transistors, or the current amplification factor (h.sub.FE) of bipolar transistors are altered by the irradiation of the X-ray with predetermined amount.The X-ray irradiation is used to make the integrated circuits with very accurate characteristics with high yield of production. It is also used to make variety of sample information by changing the characteristics of the same device one after another.

  • Method for erasing data of a non-volatile semiconductor memory integrated circuit
    Patent number: 4393479
    Abstract: A non-volatile semiconductor integrated circuit has floating poly-silicon gates on the channel regions of memory cells. The information electronically stored in said floating gates is erased by the irradiation of an X-ray with predetermined amount. The writing step prior to X-ray irradiation causes the uniform erase of entire memory cells. The circuits other than memory cells are protected by a shielding coating against the X-ray irradiation.
