  • Abstract
    A capacitorless 1T DRAM cell using gate-induced drain leakage (GIRL) current for write operation was demonstrated for the first time. Compared with the conventional write operation with impact ionization current, write operation with GIDL current provides low-power and high-speed operation. The capacitorless 1T-DRAM is the most promising technology for high performance embedded DRAM LSI.
