Abstract: Described herein are one access transistor and one ferroelectric capacitor (1T-1FE-CAP) memory cells in diagonal arrangements, as well as corresponding methods and devices. When access transistors of memory cells are implemented as FinFETs, then, in a first diagonal arrangement, memory cells are arranged so that the BLs for the cells are diagonal with respect to the fins of the access transistors of the cells, while the WLs for the cells are perpendicular to the fins. In a second diagonal arrangement, memory cells are arranged so that the fins of the access transistors of the cells are diagonal with respect to the WLs for the cells, while the BLs for the cells are perpendicular to the WLs. Such diagonal arrangements may advantageously allow achieving high layout densities of 1T-1FE-CAP memory cells and may benefit from the re-use of front-end transistor process technology with relatively minor adaptations.

Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems associated with save-restore circuitry including metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) devices. The save-restore circuitry may be coupled to a bit node and/or bit bar node of a pair of cross-coupled inverters to save the state of the bit node and/or bit bar node when an associated circuit block transitions to a sleep state, and restore the state of the bit node and/or bit bar node when the associated circuit block transitions from the sleep state to an active state. The save-restore circuitry may be used in a flip-flop circuit, a register file circuit, and/or another suitable type of circuit. The save-restore circuitry may include a transmission gate coupled between the bit node (or bit bar node) and an internal node, and an MFM device coupled between the internal node and a plate line. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
