  • Publication number: 20130240975
    Abstract: A read only memory including a substrate, a source region and a drain region, a charge storage structure, a gate, and a local extreme doping region is provided. The source region and the drain region are disposed in the substrate, the charge storage structure is located on the substrate between the source region and the drain region, and the gate is configured on the charge storage structure. The local extreme doping region is located in the substrate between the source region and the drain region and includes a low doping concentration region and at least one high doping concentration region. The high doping concentration region is disposed between the low doping concentration region and one of the source region and the drain region, and a doping concentration of the high doping concentration region is three times or more than three times a doping concentration of the low doping concentration region.

  • Publication number: 20130134497
    Abstract: A memory device is described, including a gate over a substrate, a gate dielectric between the gate and the substrate, and two charge storage layers. The width of the gate is greater than that of the gate dielectric, so that two gaps are present at both sides of the gate dielectric and between the gate and the substrate. Each charge storage layer includes a body portion in one of the gaps, a first extension portion connected with the body portion and protruding out of the corresponding sidewall of the gate, and a second extension portion connected to the first extension portion and extending along the sidewall of the gate, wherein the edge of the first extension portion protrudes from the sidewall of the second extension portion.

  • Publication number: 20120326222
    Abstract: A memory structure including a memory cell is provided, and the memory cell includes following elements. A first gate is disposed on a substrate. A stacked structure includes a first dielectric structure, a channel layer, a second dielectric structure and a second gate disposed on the first gate, a first charge storage structure disposed in the first dielectric structure and a second charge storage structure disposed in the second dielectric structure. At least one of the first charge storage structure and the second charge storage structure includes two charge storage units which are physically separated. A first dielectric layer is disposed on the first gate at two sides of the stacked structure. A first source and drain and a second source and drain are disposed on the first dielectric layer and located at two sides of the channel layer.

  • Patent number: 7427725
    Abstract: A keyboard. A membrane circuit board includes a plurality of switches. At least one keycap is disposed on the membrane circuit board and includes a plurality of activating pillars respectively corresponding to and separated from the switches. When the keycap is moved toward the membrane circuit board, one of the activating pillars compresses one of the switches, outputting a signal corresponding to the keycap.
