| 摘要 |
A high density, static, virtually nonvolatile, Random Access Memory (RAM) cell is disclosed in which variable threshold n-channel depletion mode Metal-Nitride-Oxide-Semiconductor (MNOS) transistors are the load devices for a pair of active, n-channel, enhancement mode, Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistors (IGFETs) in a flip-flop circuit. N-channel enhancement mode access transistors also IGFETs connect the cell to the bit line and the bit line. Information is written in, and read, in volatile form conventionally. A +25 volt, 10 msec pulse applied to the gates of the depletion mode MNOS load devices transfers the data from the volatile mode to the nonvolatile mode.
