    摘要: Ferroelectric memory devices contain an array of ferroelectric memory cells therein and control circuits for enabling the performance of nondestructive read operations. The memory cells of a device contain a ferroelectric memory cell and each memory cell contains a ferroelectric capacitor having a first electrode electrically coupled to a plate line and an access transistor electrically coupled in series between a bit line and a second electrode of the ferroelectric capacitor. A decoder circuit is also provided. The decoder circuit is electrically coupled to the access transistor of the memory cell by a word line and performs the function of, among other things, turning on the access transistor during a read time interval. According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, a pulse generator circuit is provided for initiating nondestructive reading of a quiescent polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor by applying a single read pulse to the plate line to sweep a polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor along a noncoercive portion of its hysteresis curve, during the read time interval. A sense amplifier circuit is also provided. The sense amplifier circuit also has a first input electrically coupled to the bit line and a second input electrically coupled to a reference signal line. The sense amplifier performs the function of driving the bit line to a first potential which represents the quiescent polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor, preferably before termination of the single read pulse.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for repairing defective cells for each section word line. The repairing apparatus includes an address comparison unit and a repairing unit. The address comparison unit compares a main address of a defective address, indicating the location of a defective cell, to a main address of an external address. The address comparison unit determines when a redundancy main word line corresponding to the main address of the external address is activated. The repairing unit activates a redundancy section word line corresponding to a section address of the external address from among a plurality of redundancy section word lines connected to the redundancy main word line in order to repair the defective cell. Accordingly, defective cells are repaired for each section word line while minimizing the area of the repairing apparatus. Randomly generated defective cells can be efficiently repaired.
