The DRAM device further includes source and drain regions respectively located at both sides of the gate electrode, and leakage shielding patterns located between the floating body and the source and drain regions. Each of the source and drain regions contact the floating body, which may be positioned between the source and drain regions. The floating body may also laterally extend under the leakage shielding patterns, which may be arranged at outer sides of the gate electrode.

    摘要: A resistance random access memory (RRAM) having a source line shared structure and an associated data access method. The RRAM, in which a write operation of writing data of first state and second state to a selected memory cell is performed through first and second write paths having mutually opposite directions, includes word lines, bit lines, a memory cell array and a plurality of source lines. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells each constructed of an access transistor coupled to a resistive memory device. The memory cells are disposed in a matrix of rows and columns and located at each intersection of a word line and a bit line. Each of the plurality of source lines is disposed between a pair of word lines and in the same direction as the word lines. A positive voltage is applied to a source line in a memory cell write operation. Through the source line shared structure, occupied chip area is reduced and, in a write operating mode, a bit line potential can be determined within a positive voltage level range.

    摘要: Disclosed is a phase-changeable memory device and a related method of reading data. The memory device is comprised of memory cells, a high voltage circuit, a precharging circuit, a bias circuit, and a sense amplifier. Each memory cell includes a phase-changeable material and a diode connected to a bitline. The high voltage circuit provides a high voltage from a power source. The precharging circuit raises the bitline up to the high voltage after charging the bitline up to the power source voltage. The bias circuit supplies a read current to the bitline by means of the high voltage. The sense amplifier compares a voltage of the bitline with a reference voltage by means of the high voltage, and reads data from the memory cell. The memory device is able to reduce the burden on the high voltage circuit during the precharging operation, thus assuring a sufficient sensing margin during the sensing operation.
