  • Publication number: 20240322043
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a fin body, a source and a drain disposed on the fin body, a channel disposed in the fin body between the source and the drain, a drain extension region disposed in the fin body between the drain and the channel, a gate insulating film disposed on the channel and the drain extension region, a high-permittivity layer disposed on the gate insulating film over the drain extension region, and a double gate including a first gate disposed on the gate insulating film above the channel adjacent to the source and a second gate in contact with the first gate. A first work function of the first gate is greater than a second work function of the second gate.

  • Patent number: 11664382
    Abstract: A memory device includes at least one semiconductor layer having a double PN junction, and an anode and a cathode which simultaneously contact the semiconductor layer, wherein a junction between the semiconductor layer and the anode is a Schottky junction, and a junction between the semiconductor layer and the cathode is an Ohmic junction. In addition, a capacitor-less memory device includes at least one semiconductor layer including a double PN junction, a control gate which contacts the semiconductor layer, and an anode and a cathode which simultaneously contact the semiconductor layer, wherein a junction between the semiconductor layer and the anode is a Schottky junction, and a junction between the semiconductor layer and the cathode is an Ohmic junction. Methods of operating the memory device and the capacitor-less memory device are also disclosed.
