  • Patent number: 11631447
    Abstract: A memory circuit includes a memory cell and a source line transistor. The memory cell includes a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, and a fourth transistor. The second transistor and the third transistor form an inverter electrically connected to a drain of the first transistor. The inverter is configured to store two states with different applied voltages. The fourth transistor is electrically connected to a node of the inverter. The source line transistor is electrically connected to the fourth transistor.

  • Patent number: 10446694
    Abstract: A field-effect transistor structure having two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides includes a substrate, a source/drain structure, a two-dimensional (2D) channel layer, and a gate layer. The source/drain structure is disposed on the substrate and has a surface higher than a surface of the substrate. The 2D channel layer is disposed on the source and the drain and covers the space between the source and the drain. The gate layer is disposed between the source and the drain and covers the 2D channel layer. The field-effect transistor having two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides is a planar field-effect transistor or a fin field-effect transistor.
