A Novel Capacitorless 1T DRAM with Embedded Oxide Layer

A novel vertical dual surrounding gate transistor with embedded oxide layer is proposed for capacitorless single transistor DRAM (1T DRAM). The embedded oxide layer is innovatively used to improve the retention time by reducing the recombination rate of stored holes and sensing electrons. Based on T...

Description
Summary:A novel vertical dual surrounding gate transistor with embedded oxide layer is proposed for capacitorless single transistor DRAM (1T DRAM). The embedded oxide layer is innovatively used to improve the retention time by reducing the recombination rate of stored holes and sensing electrons. Based on TCAD simulations, the new structure is predicted to not only have the characteristics of fast access, random read and integration of 4F<sup>2</sup> cell, but also to realize good retention and deep scaling. At the same time, the new structure has the potential of scaling compared with the conventional capacitorless 1T DRAM.
