Assignee: KOREA ADVANCED INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G  B | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A steep-slope field-effect transistor, comprising:
a source, a channel region, and a drain formed on a substrate;
a gate insulating film formed on an upper portion of the channel region;
a floating gate formed on an upper portion of the gate insulating film;
a transition layer formed on an upper portion of the floating gate; and
a control gate formed on an upper portion of the transition layer;
wherein the steep-slope field-effect transistor applies a potential of a reference voltage or more to the control gate to generate a potential difference between the control gate and the floating gate and discharges or brings in at least one charge stored in the floating gate.
