Abstract: The invention relates to a process of manufacturing cross-point
matrix memory devices which have floating gate memory
cells having the source channel self-aligned to the bit
line and the field oxide. 
     The process comprises the steps of:
   growing a thin layer (3) of tunnel oxide on the matrix
region;   depositing a stack structure comprising a first
conductive layer (4), an intermediate dielectric layer (5),
and a second conductive layer (6);   photolithographing with a Poly1 mask to define a
plurality of parallel floating gate regions (13) in said
stack structure;   self-aligned etching of said stack structure (4,5,6),
above the active areas, to define continuous bit lines;   implanting, to confer predetermined conductivity on
the active areas (10). Advantageously, the self-aligned
cascade etching step for removing parallel strips from
multiple layers, down to the active areas of the substrate
(1), is discontinued before the field oxide (2) is removed,
and the implantation step is carried out in the presence of
field oxide (2) over the source active areas (10).

Abstract: An antenna device for a base station of a mobile telecommunication
network, comprising at least two linear phased-array antennas, with the
longitudinal direction of each phased-array antenna being directed at
least substantially vertically, the at least three phased-array antennas
being jointly accommodated in a tubular housing, with the longitudinal
direction of the housing being directed at least substantially
vertically. Because the phased-array antennas are jointly accommodated
in a single tubular housing, the visual appearance of the antenna is
experienced as particularly attractive. The antenna has the appearance
of a mast and is therefore hardly noticeable. The housing functions as a
radome. An additional advantage of the housing is that the phased-array
antennas are protected from weather influences.
