摘要: A memory device having an on-chip ECC system includes an array of memory cells, some of which have wider transistors than others so that they have faster access speeds. Data bits are written into ordinary memory cells and the check bits are written into the faster cells in order to make up for the delay associated with the calculation of the check bits.

摘要: A merged charge memory system is provided having an accessing arrangement wherein each of the word lines of the memory array is divided into a plurality of segments with cells associated only with a selected one or a portion of the segments being coupled at any particular time to bit driving and sensing means. Thus, only relatively few sense amplifiers compared with the number of bits per word of the array are required to handle all of the cells of the array. More particularly, in the merged charge memory system of the present invention, the flow of charges from charge source means is released only to the cells of the selected word segment or segments which are simultaneously coupled to bit driving and sensing means via associated bit/sense lines.

摘要: A semiconductor memory produced in a unipolar technology includes a cell which has a pair of inversion capacitors with one terminal of each capacitor connected to one of a pair of bit/sense lines, the other terminal of each capacitor is coupled to a source of charges by a pulse from a word line. The charges produced from the source may be in the form of pulses injected into the capacitors. To provide a word organized array of these cells, each word includes a source of charges produced at the surface of a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of pairs of inversion capacitors formed also at the surface of the semiconductor in spaced apart relationship from the charge source. Information is written into the pairs of capacitors by applying complementary voltages to each pair of bit/sense lines coupled to the pairs of capacitors while a word pulse produces inversion layers at the surface of the substrate between the capacitors to interconnect serially the charge source with each of the capacitors. The complementary voltages have a first and a second magnitude. When voltages of the first and second magnitudes are applied to first and second bit/sense lines, respectively, of a pair of bit/sense lines, a 1 bit of information is stored in the associated cell, and when voltages of the second and first magnitudes are applied to the first and second bit/sense lines, respectively, of the same pair of bit/sense lines, a 0 bit of information is stored in the associated cell. The capacitor of the pair of capacitors having the larger voltage applied thereto stores the greater amount of charge. By employing a differential sense amplifier and floating the pair of bit sense line when a word pulse again connects the charge source with each of the capacitors, the greater charge can be detected by noting the polarity of the different voltage between the two capacitors of the pair of capacitors.

摘要: A semiconductor memory produced in a unipolar technology includes a cell which has an inversion capacitor with one terminal connected to a bit/sense line, the other terminal is coupled to a source of charges by a pulse from a word line. The charges are produced from the source in the form of pulses injected into the capacitor. To provide a word organized array of these cells, each word includes a source of pulsed charges produced at the surface of a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of inversion capacitors are formed also at the surface of the semiconductor in spaced apart relationship from the charge source. Information is written into the capacitors by applying voltages of two different magnitudes, representing 1 and 0 bits of information, to one terminal of the capacitors while a word pulse produces inversion layers at the surface of the substrate between the capacitors to interconnect serially the pulsed charge source with each of the capacitors. The pulses of charge are timed so that they begin at least by the onset of the word pulse and terminate prior to the termination of the word pulse. Furthermore, prior to the termination of the word pulse, the voltage at the charge source is set to form a charge sink for draining excess charges. The capacitors having the larger voltage applied to the one terminal of the capacitors store the greater amount of charge. This charge can then be detected by measuring the voltage of the floating bit sense line when a word pulse again connects the charge source with each of the capacitors.
