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 23):
A method comprising:\n reading a stored binary signal value state from a polarized ferroelectric memory cell, the memory cell having at least one word line and at least one bit line, wherein the lines are connected across the memory cell, the memory cell comprising a 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 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 exceeds a coercive voltage signal level value associated with the particular ferroelectric material; switching the at least one bit-line from the intermediate bit-line voltage signal level to the second bit-line voltage signal level, wherein the intermediate bit-line voltage signal level to exceed the second bit-line voltage signal level; switching the at least one word-line from the intermediate word-line voltage signal level to the first word-line voltage signal level, wherein the first word-line voltage signal level to exceed the intermediate word-line voltage signal level, such that the voltage signal difference across the memory cell is to exceed the coercive voltage signal level value; floating the at least one bit-line voltage signal level; and sensing the floated at least one bit-line voltage signal level.
