One example provides an integrated circuit comprising a transistor including a semiconductor channel. The semiconductor channel includes three or more sub-channels, one or more nodes, each node being a junction of at least three sub-channels, and channel ends. A Schottky contact at each channel end forms a source or drain contact, and a gate contact disposed at each Schottky contact controls a barrier conductivity of the corresponding Schottky contact.

Semiconductor device structure having multiple gate terminals

One example provides a memory cell including a node, and a layer stack including a first electrode, a second electrode connected to the node, and a polarizable material layer disposed between the first and second electrodes and having at least two polarization states. A first transistor includes a source, a drain, and a gate terminal, with the gate terminal connected to the node. A selector element includes at least a first terminal and a second terminal, with the second terminal connected to the node.

Ferroelectric memory and logic cell and operation method

An artificial neuron integrated circuit including a polarizable circuit element having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a polarizable material layer disposed between the first and second electrodes, the polarizable material layer changeable between a first polarization state and a second polarization state, in response to receiving a number of voltage pulses across the first and second electrodes, the polarizable material layer to change from one of the first and second polarization states to the other of the first and second polarization states, where each of the number of voltage pulses individually is insufficient to change the polarization state.

Artificial neuron based on ferroelectric circuit element

A polarization-based logic gate includes a transistor having a drain and a polarizable material layer having at least two polarization states, the polarization state representing a first logic value, and a resistive element having a first terminal coupled to the drain and a second terminal. A plurality of input/output terminals connected to the transistor and second terminal of the resistive element so as to apply voltages to selected input/output terminals, including a sensing voltage representing a second logic value, with a resulting drain current of the transistor at least partially flowing through the resistive element and representing a result of a logic operation between the first logic value and the second logic value.

Polarization-based configurable logic gate

An integrated circuit includes a ferroelectric memory cell. The ferroelectric memory cell includes a ferroelectric layer stack comprising at least one ferroelectric material oxide layer. Each of the ferroelectric material oxide layers includes a ferroelectric material that is at least partially in a ferroelectric state. The ferroelectric layer stack comprises at least two ferroelectric domains. Further, the voltage which is to applied to the layer stack to induce polarization reversal differs for the individual domains such that polarization reversal of individual domains or of a portion of the totality of ferroelectric domains within the ferroelectric material of can be attained.

Multilevel ferroelectric memory cell for an integrated circuit

A photodiode comprises a semiconductor material having a p-n junction, the p-n junction being located between a first doping region of a first doping type and a second doping region of a second doping type, the second doping region comprising a highly doped layer and a lightly doped layer. A photodiode further comprises a voltage source being capable to apply a variable voltage between the first doping region and the lightly doped layer of the second doping region in order to vary the expansion of a space charge zone of the p-n junction.
