Patent number: 6150685Abstract: A semiconductor device prevents latch up and enables subminiaturization of its structure, and a method can manufacture the semiconductor device. In the semiconductor device containing field-effect transistors of a complementary type, an interconnection containing semiconductor having n-type impurity connects a p-type impurity diffusion region forming an emitter electrode of a parasitically formed bipolar transistor to an n-type impurity diffusion region electrically connected to a power supply line. Thereby, a pn junction operating as a rectifier element is formed at a contact region between a connection portion and the p-type impurity diffusion region.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 1998Date of Patent: November 21, 2000Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Motoi Ashida, Masayuki Yamashita, Kiyoyasu Akai

Patent number: 6067256Abstract: A bit line load element for reducing a bit line amplitude during data reading is formed of p- and n-channel MOS transistors connected in parallel. When a word line is driven to the selected state, the p-channel MOS transistor is held off. In the data write operation, both the n- and p-channel MOS transistors are turned off. Even under a low power supply voltage, a sufficiently large bit line amplitude can be produced without an influence by a size of the bit line load element. By deactivating the bit line load element in the data write operation, it is possible to prevent generation of a DC current during data writing.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1998Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masayuki Yamashita, Hideki Kawamura

Patent number: 5973987Abstract: A word line activation signal generated by a timing generator is surely at L level in a prescribed period regardless of the power supply voltage. A row address signal delayed by a delay circuit in a row address buffer changes in a period in which the word line activation signal is at L level. Accordingly, even if skew occurs, a non-selected word line is never activated. Consequently, it is possible to prevent delay of access to a memory cell and erroneous writing to a memory cell.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1999Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kiyoyasu Akai, Masayuki Yamashita, Motoi Ashida

Patent number: 5580809Abstract: Each of the portions corresponding to the crossings of a plurality of first strip conductive layers serving as bit lines and a plurality of second strip conductive layers serving as word lines crossing the conductive layers at right angles is used as one memory cell. An oxide film is provided between the first strip conductive layers and the second strip conductive layers. The thickness of this oxide film is set in each memory cell according to stored data. Also a multi-value memory can be realized, since the amount of stored data in each memory cell is an arbitrary amount of 1 bit or more by making the stored data of a plurality of types of memory cells having different thicknesses in the tunnel oxide film 15 correspond to a plurality of different data. The size of each memory cell can be reduced since the occupying area of each memory cell on the semiconductor substrate is dependent on the width of the first strip conductive layer and the second strip conductive layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1995Date of Patent: December 3, 1996Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shinichi Mori, Osamu Ueda, Masayuki Yamashita
