CRYOSAR MEMORY DESIGN

Abstract

The compensated cryosar is a negative-resistance two-terminal device utilizing a bulk effect in germanium at liquid helium temperatures. Its use in a computer memory is foreseen because of its bistable nature and its ease of fabrication in large arrays. However, careful consideration of device and circuit parameters is necessary if a successful large memory is to be achieved. (Author)
