Abstract:
In one embodiment, a device is described for using ferroelectric material in a memory cell. In another embodiment, a method of operating a ferroelectric memory cell is described. Other embodiments are likewise described.

Claim (Index 17):
An apparatus comprising: a ferroelectric memory cell;\n the ferroelectric memory cell having at least one word line and at least one bit line, wherein the lines are connected to a memory cell so as to generate a voltage signal level difference across the memory cell, the memory cell comprising a ferroelectric capacitor of ferroelectric material such that polarization of the memory cell is capable of being switched to an opposite polarization via a sufficient voltage signal level difference of opposite polarity to be generated across the memory cell, the ferroelectric material further being such that polarization of the memory cell does not change unless the sufficient voltage signal level difference to be generated exceeds a coercive voltage signal level value associated with the particular ferroelectric material; wherein a stored binary signal value state is to be read from the memory cell in a manner to result in the at least one bit-line to switch from an intermediate bit-line voltage signal level to a second level bit-line voltage signal level, the intermediate bit-line voltage signal level to exceed the second bit-line voltage signal level; and to result in the at least one word-line to switch from an intermediate word-line voltage signal level to a first word-line voltage signal level, the first word-line voltage signal level to exceed the intermediate word-line voltage signal level, such that the voltage signal difference to be generated across the memory cell is to exceed the coercive voltage signal level value; and wherein the stored binary signal value state is further to be read from the memory cell in a manner to result in the at least one bit-line to float.
