专利汇可以提供Nonvolatile random access memory cell using an alterable threshold field effect write transistor专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且The present invention relates to a nonvolatile random access memory cell having a fixed threshold field effect read transistor, a fixed threshold field effect storage transistor and an alterable threshold field effect write transistor in it. The source electrode of the read transistor is connected to the drain electrode of the storage transistor to sense when the latter transistor is holding a volatile charge on its gate electrode, and the gate electrode of the read transistor and the gate electrode of the write transistor are connected together to consolidate read and write select lines. The drain electrodes of the read transistor and the write transistor are connected together to consolidate read and write lines. The source electrode of the write transistor and the gate electrode of the read transistor are connected together to allow for storage of information on the gate electrode of the latter transistor through the former transistor and to allow for nonvolatile storage into the former transistor of the volatile information in the latter transistor by channel shielding as power is lost to the cell. Storage means is connected to the gate electrode of the write transistor to non-volatilely store the volatile information which is held as a charge or no charge on the gate electrode of the storage transistor, as power is removed from the nonvolatile random access memory cell.,下面是Nonvolatile random access memory cell using an alterable threshold field effect write transistor专利的具体信息内容。
