Abstract
A read transistor for single poly non-volatile memory using a body contacted SOI transistor and a method of manufacturing the same is provided. The non-volatile random access memory is formed in silicon on insulator (SOI). The non-volatile random access memory includes a read field effect transistor (FET) having a body contact formed in the silicon of the SOI. The body contact is in electrical contact with a diffusion region under a gate of the read FET.
Claims24
A non-volatile random access memory formed in silicon on insulator (SOI) comprising a read field effect transistor (FET) having a body contact formed in the silicon of the SOI, the body contact being in electrical contact with a diffusion region under a gate of the read FET.
A non-volatile random access memory comprising:
- a read field effect transistor (FET) having a body contact formed in a silicon layer of a SOI, the read FET further comprising a diffusion region under a gate structure formed in the silicon layer, and which is in electrical contact with the body contact;
- and
- a coupling capacitor having N+ or P+ diffusion regions isolated from the read FET by isolation regions formed in the silicon of the SOI and buried oxide.
A method of forming a non-volatile random access memory, comprising:
- forming a read field effect transistor (FET) having a body contact formed in silicon of SOI, and in electrical contact with a diffusion region under a gate of the read FET.
A design structure embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, the design structure comprising a read field effect transistor (FET) having a body contact formed in the silicon of the SOI and in electrically contact with a diffusion region under a gate of the read FET.
