| 20090140288 | HIGH ION/IOFF SOI MOSFET USING BODY VOLTAGE CONTROL - A semiconductor device may comprise a partially-depleted SOI MOSFET having a floating body region disposed between a source and drain. The floating body region may be driven to receive injected carriers for adjusting its potential during operation of the MOSFET. In a particular case, the MOSFET may comprise another region of semiconductor material in contiguous relationship with a drain/source region of the MOSFET and on a side thereof opposite to the body region. This additional region may be formed with a conductivity of type opposite the drain/source, and may establish an effective bipolar device per the body, the drain/source and the additional region. The geometries and doping thereof may be designed to establish a transport gain of magnitude sufficient to assist the injection of carriers into the floating body region, yet small enough to guard against inter-latching with the MOSFET. | 06-04-2009 |

The density of the carbon and/or a bombardment energy and/or an anneal therefore may be selected to establish a low-voltage, leakage characteristic for the junction substantially greater than its leakage absent the carbon. In one embodiment, an anneal of the implanted carbon may be performed in common with an activation for other implant regions the semiconductor device. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100315871 | DYNAMIC DATA RESTORE IN THYRISTOR-BASED MEMORY DEVICE - A dynamically-operating restoration circuit is used to apply a voltage or current restore pulse signal to thyristor-based memory cells and therein restore data in the cell using the internal positive feedback loop of the thyristor. In one example implementation, the internal positive feedback loop in the thyristor is used to restore the conducting state of a device after the thyristor current drops below the holding current. A pulse and/or periodic waveform are defined and applied to ensure that the thyristor is not released from its conducting state. The time average of the periodic restore current in the thyristor may be lower than the holding current threshold. While not necessarily limited to memory cells that are thyristor-based, various embodiments of the invention have been found to be the particularly useful for high-speed, low-power memory cells in which a thin capacitively-coupled thyristor is used to provide a bi-stable storage element. | 12-16-2010 |
