A New U Well 1T DRAM Cell Using Bias for Enhancing Floating Body Effect

This article focuses on ¡§Floating Body Effect¡¨ of PD-SOI (partial depletion silicon-on-insulator), because the conventional PD-SOI 1T DRAM (one transistor of dynamic random access memory) cell can¡¦t be held impact ionization produced carriers efficiently, so it is unable to provide reliable programming window. In this article, we propose a new device with its special structure, besides adding ¡§Block Oxide¡¨ to the two sides of device body to strengthen ¡§kink effect¡¨, we also add a negative bias to the beneath electrode which is located in the bottom of U-cave of this device, this design can manipulate ¡§kink effect¡¨ more feasibly, and guarantee the hole-held ability. Those points can improve performance of PD-SOI 1T DRAM cell greatly.
The new SOI device contains four advantages in the below:
1. Exploiting conventional bulk Si-wafer for manufacture, no expensive SOI wafer needs.
2. Increasing programming window of 1T DRAM cell greatly.
3. Preventing ¡§Pinch off¡¨ occurs in source and drain depletion region.
4. Reducing the junction capacitor of Source-Body and Drain-Body.
We use simulation tool, ISE TCAD 10.0 to simulate structure of this new device, and do I-V characteristic electric analyze to this device. In the manufacture, thanks for the equipment and facility of NDL (National Device Laboratory); we apply to this resource to realize our devices.
