US Patent 7728626 - Nanolaminate transistor logic array

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7728626.html

This patent from Micron teaches a transistor architecture using nanolaminate charge trapping structures for higher density programmable logic. Claim 1 reads:

1. A programmable logic array, comprising:

a plurality of input lines for receiving an input signal;

a plurality of output lines; and

one or more arrays having a first logic plane and a second logic plane connected between the input lines and the output lines, wherein the first logic plane and the second logic plane comprise a plurality of logic cells arranged in rows and columns for providing a sum-of-products term on the output lines responsive to a received input signal,

wherein each logic cell includes a transistor cell including:

a first source/drain region;

a second source/drain region;

a channel region between the first and the second source/drain regions, and

a gate separated from the channel region by a gate insulator; and

wherein the gate insulator includes oxide insulator nanolaminate layers wherein at least one charge trapping layer in the oxide insulator nanolaminate layers is substantially amorphous.
