摘要: A memory device includes a bit line, a word line, a memory cell, select bit lines, and a controller. The memory cell includes a first transistor, data storage elements, and second transistors corresponding to the data storage elements. The first transistor includes a gate electrically coupled to the word line, a first source/drain, and a second source/drain. Each of the select bit lines is electrically coupled to a gate of a corresponding second transistor. Each data storage element and the corresponding second transistor are electrically coupled in series between the first source/drain of the first transistor and the bit line. The controller turns ON the first transistor and a selected second transistor, and, while the first transistor and the selected second transistor are turned ON, applies different voltages to the bit line to perform corresponding different operations on the data storage element coupled to the selected second transistor.

摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method of forming a ferroelectric memory device. In the method, a pair of source/drain regions is formed in a substrate. A gate dielectric and a gate electrode are formed over the substrate and between the pair of source/drain regions. A polarization switching structure is formed directly on a top surface of the gate electrode. By arranging the polarization switching structure directly on the gate electrode, smaller pad size can be realized, and more flexible area ratio tuning can be achieved compared to arranging the polarization switching structure under the gate electrode with the aligned sidewall and same lateral dimensions. In addition, since the process of forming gate electrode can endure higher annealing temperatures, such that quality of the ferroelectric structure is better controlled.
