Read: Charge redistribution takes places between bit line and storage capacitance C ΔV = V V PRE = V BIT V PRE C + C Voltage swing is small; typically < 200 mv RAM Cell Observations 1T RAM requires a sense amplifier for each bit line, due to charge redistribution read-out. RAM memory cells are single ended in contrast to RAM cells. The read-out of the 1T RAM cell is destructive; read and refresh operations are necessary for correct operation. When writing a 1 into a RAM cell, a threshold voltage is lost. This charge loss can be circumvented by bootstrapping the word lines to a higher value than ense Amp Operation V V PRE V(1) ense amp activated Word line activated V(1) V(0) t T T RAM Cell Modern 1T RAM Cells Capacitor Word line Insulating Layer Cell plate Capacitor dielectric layer Metal word line M 1 word line Cell Plate i Poly n + n + Inversion layer Poly induced by plate bias Cross-section io 2 Field Oxide iffused bit line gate Layout plate Capacitor Insulator torage Node Poly 2nd Field Oxide Refilling Poly i ubstrate Transfer gate Isolation torage electrode Uses -iffusion Capacitance Expensive in Area 29 Trench Cell tacked-capacitor Cell 30 5
