    摘要: A memory cell formed in a semiconductor body includes a vertical trench with a polysilicon fill as a storage capacitor and a field effect transistor having a source formed in the sidewall of the trench, a drain formed in the semiconductor body and having a surface common with a top surface of the semiconductor body, and having a channel region that includes both vertical and horizontal portions and a polysilicon gate that is in an upper portion of the trench. A process for fabrication provides an insulating oxide layer at the top of the polysilicon fill portion that serves as the storage node and the polysilicon fill portion that serves as the gate conductor.

    摘要: Row redundancy control circuits which effectively reduce design space are arranged parallel to word direction and are arranged at the bottom of the redundancy block. This architecture change makes it possible to effectively lay out the redundancy control block by introducing (1) split-global-bus shared with local row redundancy wires, (2) half-length-one-way row redundancy-wordline-enable-signal wires which allows space saving, and (3) distributed wordline enable decoders designed to take advantage of the saved space. An illegal normal/redundancy access problem caused by the address versus timing skew has also been solved. The timing necessary for this detection is given locally by using its adjacent redundancy match detection. This allows the circuit to operate completely as an address driven circuit, resulting in fast and reliable redundancy match detection. In addition, a sample wordline enable signal (SWLE) is generated by using row redundancy match detection. One two-input OR gate allows the time at which SWLE sets sample wordline (SWL) to be the same as the time at which wordline enable (WLE) signal sets wordline (WL). The time at which SWLE sets SWL remains consistent regardless of mode, eliminating the existing reliability concern. This two-input OR gate combined with row redundancy match detection works as an ideal sample wordline enable generator.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory array having an array of memory cells. Individual cells of the array are addressable by a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines. The memory cells are disposed in active areas of the array. The array of memory cells includes a first strip of memory cells. The dynamic random access memory array includes a lower metal layer and an upper metal layer disposed above the lower metal layer. The dynamic random access memory array further includes a dielectric layer disposed between the lower metal layer and the upper metal layer. There is further included a first bit line of the plurality of bit lines which includes a lower metal first bit line portion implemented in the lower metal layer. The lower metal first bit line portion is coupled to a first plurality of memory cells of the first strip of memory cells. The first bit line also includes an upper metal first bit line portion implemented in the upper metal layer. The upper metal first bit line portion is coupled to the lower first metal bit line portion by a first contact through the dielectric layer. The first contact is disposed above one of the active areas.
