Abstract:
In this study, we propose a new DRAM cell that uses a silicon-wire pass transistor stacked on top of a high-dielectric capacitor rated of holding industry-standard 32 fCoulomb charge. We show that the performance of the transistor and the characteristics of the DRAM cell are comparable with those reported in the literature.
