Patent ID: 10679688

Abstract:
A memory cell and method for utilizing the memory cell are described. The memory cell includes at least one ferroelectric transistor (FE-transistor) and at least one selection transistor coupled with the FE-transistor. An FE-transistor includes a transistor and a ferroelectric capacitor for storing data. The ferroelectric capacitor includes ferroelectric material(s). In some aspects, the memory cell consists of a FE-transistor and a selection transistor. In some aspects, the transistor of the FE-transistor includes a source, a drain and a gate coupled with the ferroelectric capacitor. In this aspect, the selection transistor includes a selection transistor source, a selection transistor drain and a selection transistor gate. In this aspect, a write port of the memory cell is the selection transistor source or the selection transistor drain. The other of the selection transistor source and drain is coupled to the ferroelectric capacitor.
