Capacitor-less memory and abrupt switch based on hysteresis characteristics in punch-through impact ionization mos transistor (PI-MOS)

Maher Kayal, Vincent Pott, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Kirsten Emilie Moselund

The present invention exploits the impact ionization induced by drain voltage increase and the onset of a bipolar parasitic in an Omega-gate field effect metal oxide insulator transistor (called PI-MOS), in order to obtain a memory effect and abrupt curren ...

Non-hysteretic punchthrough impact ionization MOS (PIMOS) transistor: Application to abrupt inverter and NDR circuits

Vincent Pott, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Kirsten Emilie Moselund

The recently proposed PIMOS transistor can offer, by appropriate operation, non-hysteretic abrupt off-on transitions due to impact ionization if the action of its parasitic bipolar transistor is minimized. This work proposes non-hysteretic abrupt inverter ...
