Abstract:
Semiconductor memory devices and methods of operating the same are provided. The method of operation may include the steps of selecting a ferroelectric memory cell for a read operation, coupling a first pulse signal to interrogate the selected ferroelectric memory cell, the selected ferroelectric memory cell outputting a memory signal to a bit-line in response to the first pulse signal, coupling the memory signal to a first input of a sense amplifier via the bit-line, electrically isolating the sense amplifier from the selected ferroelectric memory cell, and enabling the sense amplifier for sensing after the sense amplifier is electrically isolated from the selected ferroelectric memory cell. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 13):
The memory device of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n a second memory cell including a second ferroelectric capacitor coupling to a second pass transistor, wherein the first and second memory cells form a complementary memory cell having a two-transistor-two-capacitor (2T2C) configuration; a second plate line coupling to one of two plates of the second ferroelectric capacitor; a second bit-line coupling the second pass transistor to the sense amplifier; and a second word-line coupling to a gate of the second pass transistor; wherein during the read operation of the first memory cell, a second word-line signal on the second word-line is de-asserted before the sense amplifier is enabled for the sense operation.
