  • Reducing leakage currents in memories with phase-change material
    Publication number: 20060063297
    Abstract: A memory cell including a phase-change material may have reduced leakage current. The cell may receive signals through a buried wordline in one embodiment. The buried wordline may include a sandwich of a more lightly doped N type region over a more heavily doped N type region over a less heavily doped N type region. As a result of the configuration of the N type regions forming the buried wordline, the leakage current of the buried wordline to the substrate under reverse bias conditions may be significantly reduced.

  • Radio frequency data communications device
    Patent number: 6316975
    Abstract: A radio frequency identification device comprises an integrated circuit including a receiver, a transmitter, and a microprocessor. The receiver and transmitter together define an active transponder. The integrated circuit is preferably a monolithic single die integrated circuit including the receiver, the transmitter, and the microprocessor. Because the device includes an active transponder, instead of a transponder which relies on magnetic coupling for power, the device has a much greater range.
