[0009] The following is a detailed description of the low-power dual-conductor device:

[0010] This low-power dual-conductance device includes six parts: a gate region, a source region, a drain region, a channel region, a substrate region, and a substrate lead-out region. The device can be manufactured based on a semiconductor substrate and is characterized by:

[0011] In terms of spatial location, the device's boundaries are defined by three adjacent shallow trench isolations. The device's gate, source, drain, channel, and substrate regions are all laterally located within the two shallow trench isolations on one side, while the device's substrate lead-out region is located within the two shallow trench isolations on the other side.

[0014] The memory structure proposed in the present invention has the advantages of low power consumption, no crosstalk, and read and write speeds that can meet circuit requirements. This is due to the following characteristics of the proposed low-power dual-conductor device:

[0015] 1. The proposed low-power dual-conductor device can achieve bidirectional conduction, making the designed memory structure crosstalk-free.

[0016] Taking an N-type low-power dual-conductance device as an example, when the device is in the on state (i.e., when the channel surface is inverted), a Schottky junction is formed between the source metal layer and the source semiconductor layer, and a PN junction is formed between the channel surface inversion layer and the source semiconductor layer. Therefore, the proposed device has two current paths. The first current path is that carriers enter the channel surface inversion layer from the source metal layer by Schottky thermal emission and Schottky direct tunneling, then enter the drain semiconductor layer by drift diffusion, and then enter the drain metal layer by Schottky thermal emission and Schottky direct tunneling. The second current path is that carriers enter the source semiconductor layer by Schottky thermal emission and Schottky direct tunneling, then enter the channel surface inversion layer by band-to-band tunneling, then enter the drain semiconductor layer by drift diffusion, and finally enter the drain metal layer by Schottky thermal emission and Schottky direct tunneling. When the drain voltage is higher than the source voltage, the source and drain semiconductor layers form a reverse-biased PN junction. The second current path dominates, with current flowing from the drain to the source. When the source voltage is higher than the drain voltage, the source and drain semiconductor layers form a forward-biased PN junction. The first current path dominates, with current flowing from the source to the drain. Because the conduction capabilities of both the first and second current paths are controlled by the device's gate voltage, the proposed low-power dual-conductance device can achieve bidirectional conduction. The same applies to P-type devices.

[0017] 2. It has the advantage of low static power consumption, which makes the designed memory structure have low power consumption advantage

[0018] Taking an N-type low-power dual-conductance device as an example, when the channel surface is in an accumulation state, a PN junction forms between the channel surface accumulation layer and the drain semiconductor layer. If the gate-drain voltage difference of the device is high, causing the PN junction to be reverse-biased and the tunneling window to open, holes will enter the channel surface accumulation layer through band-to-band tunneling from the drain semiconductor layer, thereby increasing the device's off-state current. However, in the device designed by the present invention, the drain metal layer is located laterally from the composite main isolation layer boundary near the drain region to the drain region boundary, and the drain semiconductor layer wraps around the drain metal layer and has a relatively narrow width. This results in the drain semiconductor layer being at a relatively wide distance from the gate boundary near the drain end, approximately equivalent to the width of the composite main isolation layer. Furthermore, the channel surface accumulation layer is primarily located below the gate region, thereby increasing the minimum tunneling width between the channel surface accumulation layer and the drain semiconductor layer. This helps suppress band-to-band tunneling current between the channel surface accumulation layer and the drain semiconductor layer, reducing the device's off-state current, and thus giving the proposed low-power dual-conductance device the advantage of low static power consumption. The same applies to P-type devices.

[0019] In addition, the upper well layer and the lower well layer in the substrate region form a zero-bias or reverse-biased PN junction in the actual circuit, which can suppress leakage between the source semiconductor layer and the drain semiconductor layer of the same doping type between adjacent devices, thereby further reducing static power consumption.

[0020] 3. The conduction current can meet the actual circuit working requirements, so that the read and write speed of the designed memory structure can meet the circuit requirements.

[0021] In the proposed low-power dual-conductor device, the impurities doped in the source semiconductor layer have different solid solubility between the metal and the semiconductor, which causes the position of the impurity peak concentration in the semiconductor to shift to the boundary between the source metal layer and the source semiconductor layer, thereby thinning the tunneling barrier between the inversion layer on the channel surface and the source semiconductor layer and increasing the probability of band-to-band tunneling. It also thins the tunneling barrier between the inversion layer on the channel surface and the source metal layer and increases the probability of direct tunneling. Therefore, the Schottky direct tunneling current in the first current path and the band-to-band tunneling current in the second current path can be increased, ultimately increasing the on-current of the device so that the on-current can meet the actual circuit operation requirements.
