On the Nature of the Memory Mechanism of Gated-Thyristor Dynamic-RAM Cells

With the help of numerical simulations, we revisit the operation of dynamic thin-capacitively-coupled-thyristor RAM (TRAM) and field effect diode-RAM cells and clarify the memory mechanism. The resulting carrier profiles demonstrate that the recently advanced interpretation of the physical memory (i...
