摘要： A method is described that induced dielectric breakdown within a capacitor's dielectric material while driving a current through the capacitor. The current is specific to data that is being written into the capacitor. The method also involves reading the data by interpreting behavior of the capacitor that is determined by the capacitor's resistance, where, the capacitor's resistance is a consequence of the inducing and the driving.

摘要： Some embodiments provide a memory cell comprising a body region doped with charge carriers of a first type, a source region disposed in the body region and doped with charge carriers of a second type, and a drain region disposed in the body region and doped with charge carriers of the second type. According to some embodiments, the body region, the source region, and the drain region are oriented in a first direction, the body region and the source region form a first junction, and the body region and the drain region form a second junction. Moreover, a conductivity of the first junction from the body region to the source region in a case that the first junction is unbiased is substantially less than a conductivity of the second junction from the body region to the drain region in a case that the second junction is unbiased. Some embodiments further include a transistor oriented in a second direction, wherein the second direction is not parallel to the first direction.

摘要： A DRAM memory cell uses a single transistor to perform the data storage and switching functions of a conventional cell. The transistor has a floating channel body which stores a potential that corresponds to one of two digital data values. The transistor further includes a gate connected to a first word line, a drain connected to a second word line, and a source connected to a bit line. By setting the word and bit lines to specific voltage states, the channel body stores a digital one potential as a result of impact ionization and a digital zero value as a result of forward bias of body-to-source junction.
