Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A tri-gate core transistor which has nonvolatile memory [NVM] functionality in midsection of a logic transistor gate was developed on 90nm CMOS process and demonstrated its functionality and validity. It is possible to be embedded into logic blocks seamlessly. Program and Erase [P/E] operation of the nonvolatile core transistor [NV Core Trs] is performed with ultra-low current by employing FN tunneling, and it is controlled by the circuits configured only with logic devices. No high voltage transistor is necessary in the logic blocks, and the area of peripheral circuits become extremely small. Integration of memory and logic becomes quite easy, and thus, some of new architecture and applications are possible to create without using any emerging memory materials. Proposed examples are ultra-high speed nonvolatile RAM [NVRAM] with direct conjunction of NV Core Trs and SRAM cell, and highly sophisticated secure NVM.
