    摘要: A chain type ferroelectric random access memory has a memory cell unit including ferroelectric memory cells electrically connected in series to each other, a plate line connected to an electrode of the memory cell unit, a bit line connected to the other electrode of the memory cell unit via a switching transistor, a sense amplifier which amplifies the voltages of this bit line and its complementary bit line, and a transistor inserted between the switching transistor and the sense amplifier. A value, being the minimum value of the gate voltage in the transistor obtained during elevation of the plate line voltage and comparative amplification, is smaller than a value, being the maximum value of the gate voltage in the transistor obtained during fall of the plate line voltage and comparative amplification. With these features, decrease in the accumulated charge of polarization in the memory cell is reduced and occurrence of disturb is prevented during read/write operations.

    摘要: A word-line drive voltage generation circuit for use in a dynamic random-access memory is disclosed which is connected to a word line via a row decoder including MOS transistors. The circuit includes a charge-bootstrap capacitor having insulated electrodes, one of which is connected to a first reference voltage generator via a switching MOS transistor, and the other of which is connected via a MOS transistor to a second reference voltage generator. These voltage generators provide the capacitor with the constant d.c. voltage that are essentially insensitive to variation in the power supply voltage for the memory. The resultant word-line drive voltage may thus be free from variation in the power supply voltage during the operation modes of the memory. This enables the word-line voltage to be high enough to allow successful "H" level writing at a selected memory cell without creation of any unwantedly increased dielectric breakdown therein, in the entire allowable range of the power supply voltage.

Each memory cell has a data storage capacitor and a transistor. Sense amplifiers are provided at bit line pairs, respectively, to sense a data voltage. A discharge control section, which is associated with the sense amplifiers, forms discharge paths branched between the bit line pairs and the substrate grounded to progress the discharging of charges, when a certain word line is designated and a memory cell is selected from those memory cells which are connected to the certain word line, whereby the operational speed of the memory is increased.

    摘要: In a MIS transistor, the top surfaces of source/drain regions (S/D diffusion layers) formed on a semiconductor substrate 1 are arranged nearer to a gate electrode than a channel plane on the semiconductor substrate, and the top surfaces of the source/drain regions are arranged nearer than the channel plane than the interface between a gate insulator film provided on the upper side of the channel plane and the gate electrode. In this transistor, a groove is selectively formed in the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a polycrystalline silicon deposited in the groove may be used as a mask to form impurity diffusion layers serving as source/drain regions to laminate and form a gate insulator film of a high dielectric film and a gate electrode. Alternatively, the polycrystalline silicon may be selectively formed to be used as a mask to elevate and form the impurity diffusion layer to laminate and form the gate insulator film and the gate electrode. Thus, it is possible to achieve both of the reduction of the resistance of the S/D diffusion layers and the reduction of the gate parasitic capacitance.
