Electronic component storage cell e.g. for memory cell comprises capacitor with electrodes, semiconductor switch, bit conductor and metallic connection region

摘要

An electronic component storage cell (8) comprises a capacitor (20) with electrodes (24, 26), a semiconductor switch, a bit conductor, and a metallic connection region. The semiconductor switch has a canal region (32) whose electrical conductivity can be controlled. The canal region and the metallic connection region (28) form a Schottky contact. A tunnel barrier layer is located between the metallic connection region and the canal region.
