Patent number: 7485527Abstract: There is provided a nonvolatile semiconductor storage device less subject to variances of electric characteristics among memory cells. A floating gate electrode provided on a substrate is made of two or more materials different in carrier trapping efficiency so as to accumulate carriers and thereby store data in the floating gate electrode. Thus a region without so large changes of the threshold voltage is produced, and the portion with a small change is used as the margin for circuit operations, thereby to eliminate variances among cells and realize high-speed operations.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2006Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Noriyuki Kawashima, Kenichi Taira

Publication number: 20030127680Abstract: Provided are a memory device capable of accurately reading out data, a method of manufacturing the same, and an integrated circuit. A first control electrode substantially faces a second control electrode with a conduction region and a storage region in between. At the time of “the reading of data”, an electric potential is applied to the first control electrode. During “the reading of data”, a change in an electric potential between the conduction region and the storage region is prevented, and therefore, unintentional writing or erasing of information is prevented, so that written information can be accurately read out.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2002Publication date: July 10, 2003Inventors: Kazumasa Nomoto, Noriyuki Kawashima, Ichiro Fujiwara, Kenichi Taira

Patent number: 6118686Abstract: A memory device for storing information includes a conductive layer functioning as a current passage, an information storing section, the information storing section comprising at least two quantum dot groups, including a plurality of quantum dots, and a plurality of barrier layers, the barrier layers confining charges in the quantum dots, the energy level localized in a quantum dot group nearer the conductive layer being higher than the energy level localized in another quantum dot group distant from the conductive layer, and a control electrode provided on the information storing section, on the opposite side from the conductive layer. Pulse voltages having different widths and different heights are applied between the conductive layer and the information storing section thereby transferring charge from the conductive layer and accumulating charge in different quantum dot groups in response to the widths and heights to store the information.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1999Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kenichi Taira, Toshikazu Suzuki, Hideki Ono

Patent number: 5671437Abstract: A novel quantum dot-tunnel device having a revolutionarily faster processing speed and higher processing precision than conventional computer computation, which device has an array consisting of a large number of quantum dots which confine electrons three-dimensionally, with the coupling among quantum dots, that is, the tunnel transition probability, being defined by controlling the positional relationship and the shape of the quantum dots in accordance with an algorithm of predetermined information processing, so that the algorithm is expressed in solid state rather than by a conventional computer program. The electron transition among quantum dots occurs instantaneously and wave mechanically with a strict precision, and the results of the information processing are expressed as a spatial distribution of electrons over the plurality of quantum dots.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1996Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Kenichi Taira
