Abstract

Floating body cell (FBC) is a one-transistor memory cell on SOI substrate aimed at high-density embedded memory on SOC. In order to verify this memory cell technology, a 128 Mb floating body RAM (FBRAM) with FBC has been designed and successfully developed. The memory cell design and the experimental results, including single-cell operation, are reviewed. Based on the experimental results, the scalability of FBC down to 32 nm technology node is also discussed.
