The invention relates to a method with contrast reversal which, inter alia, opens up new areas of application for resists.

Method for multiple irradiation of a resist

The invention relates to a vertical integrated component, a component arrangement and a method for production of a vertical integrated component. The vertical integrated component has a first electrical conducting layer, a mid layer, partly embodied from dielectric material on the first electrical conducting layer, a second electrical conducting layer on the mid layer and a nanostructure integrated in a through hold introduced in the mid layer. A first end section of the nanostructure is coupled to the first electrical conducting layer and a second end section is coupled to the second electrical conducting layer. The mid layer includes a third electrical conducting layer between two adjacent dielectric partial layers, the thickness of which is less than the thickness of at least one of the dielectric partial layers.

A nanotube array and a method for producing a nanotube array. The nanotube array has a substrate, a catalyst layer, which includes one or more subregions, on the surface of the substrate and at least one nanotube arranged on the surface of the catalyst layer, parallel to the surface of the substrate. The at least one nanotube being arranged parallel to the surface of the substrate results in a planar arrangement of at least one nanotube. Therefore, the nanotube array of the invention is suitable for coupling to conventional silicon microelectronics. Therefore, according to the invention it is possible for a nanotube array to be electronically coupled to macroscopic semiconductor electronics. Furthermore, the nanotube array according to the invention may have an electrically insulating layer between the substrate and the catalyst layer. This electrically insulating layer preferably has a topography which is such that the at least one nanotube rests on the electrically insulating layer at its end sections and is uncovered in its central section. As a result of the surface of the at least one nanotube being partly uncovered, the uncovered surface of the nanotube can be used as an active sensor surface. For example, the uncovered surface of the nanotube can come into operative contact with an atmosphere which surrounds the nanotube array. The electrical resistance of a nanotube changes significantly in the presence of certain gases. Thus because the nanotube is clear and uncovered, the nanotube array can be used in many sensor applications.

Memory transistors are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns. A first source/drain terminal of each memory transistor of a first column is connected to an electrically conductive conductor track in a first metallization plane, and a first source/drain terminal of each memory transistor of a second column adjacent to the first column is connected to an electrically conductive conductor track in a second metallization plane.

Nonvolatile memory cell arrangement

A fin field effect transistor having a substrate, a fin structure above the substrate, as well as a drain region and a source region outside the fin structure above the substrate. The fin structure serves as a channel between the source region and the drain region. The source and drain regions are formed once the gate has been produced.

A nonvolatile memory cell, memory cell arrangement, and method for production of a nonvolatile memory cell is disclosed. The nonvolatile memory cell includes a vertical field-effect transistor (FET). The FET contains a nanoelement arranged as a channel region and an electrically insulating layer. The electrically insulating layer at least partially surrounds the nanoelement and acts as a charge storage layer and as a gate-insulating layer. The electrically insulating layer is arranged such that electrical charge carriers may be selectively introduced into or removed from the electrically insulating layer and the electrical conductivity characteristics of the nanoelement may be influenced by the electrical charge carriers introduced into the electrically insulating layer.

The invention relates to a molecular electronics arrangement comprising a substrate, at least one first strip conductor having a surface and being arranged in or on the substrate, a spacer which is arranged on the surface of the at least one first strip conductor and which partially covers the surface of the at least one first strip conductor, and at least one second strip conductor which is arranged on the spacer and comprises a surface which faces the surface of the at least one first strip conductor in a plane manner. The spacer partially covers the surface of the at least one second strip conductor, and defines a pre-determined distance between the at least one first strip conductor and the at least one second strip conductor. The inventive molecular electronics arrangement also comprises molecular electronics molecules which are arranged between a free region of the surface of the at least one first strip conductor and a free region of the surface of the at least one second strip conductor, the length of said molecules being essentially equal to the distance between the at least one first strip conductor and the at least one second strip conductor. The invention also relates to a method for producing a molecular electronics arrangement.
