چکیده

A novel one-transistor dynamic random access memory (1T DRAM) cell has been proposed for a low-voltage operation and longer data retention time. The proposed 1T DRAM cell has three features compared with a conventional 1T DRAM cell: low body doping concentration, a recessed gate structure, and a P poly-Si gate. Simulation results show that the proposed 1T DRAM cell has < 1-ns program time and > 100-ms data retention time under the condition of sub-1-V operating voltage. key words: 1T DRAM, capacitorless DRAM, low voltage, data retention time

The Programming Optimization of Capacitorless 1T DRAM Based on the Dual-Gate TFET

The larger volume of capacitor and higher leakage current of transistor have become the inherent disadvantages for the traditional one transistor (1T)-one capacitor (1C) dynamic random access memory (DRAM). Recently, the tunneling FET (TFET) is applied in DRAM cell due to the low off-state current and high switching ratio. The dual-gate TFET (DG-TFET) DRAM cell with the capacitorless structure ...

A DRAM based Physical Unclonable Function Capable of Generating >10 Challenge Response Pairs per 1Kbit Array for Secure Chip Authentication

A DRAM based Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) utilizing the location of weak retention cells is demonstrated in 65nm CMOS. A new authentication scheme is proposed for the DRAM PUF where a random pattern is written to a small section of the DRAM and then retention failures are induced. To further increase the number of Challenge Response Pairs (CPRs), the data pattern including retention failu...

A Three-Dimensional DRAM Using Floating Body Capacitance Cells in an FD-SOI Process

This paper describes a three-dimensional DRAM in which the floating body capacitance (FBC) of a fully depleted SOI (FD-SOI) device is used as a storage node. This 1T DRAM lends itself particularly well to a 3D waferto-wafer bonding process because of the absence of deep etched and filled trench capacitor structure, and the improved thickness control tolerance in wafer thinning. A novel three-ti...

Characteristics of Gated Diode Based DRAM under Low Voltage

Energy harvesting systems suffer variable power supply from time to time. Ultra low power supply or even a very short period without power supply may cause very serious consequences. In the case of system memories, important data may be lost. A gated diode based DRAM can be a potential memory solution as a dynamic backup storage to meet these challenges. However, before exploring this solution,...

Progress in Z-FET 1T-DRAM: Retention time, writing modes, selective array operation, and dual bit storage

In this paper, we extend our studies on the use of zero impact ionization and zero subthreshold swing field-effect-transistor (Z-FET) as a capacitor-less one-transistor dynamic random access memory (1TDRAM) through both experiment and TCAD simulation. The data retention time is measured as a function of biasing, temperature and device dimensions, leading to a simple predictive model. An alterna...
