Z-RAM memory technology breakthrough
by Innovative Silicon
At 2008 IEEE International SOI Conference, Innovative Silicon
demonstrated the advantages of Z-RAM memory over DRAM and
other proposed floating body memory designs.
In the paper delivered by Dr. Mikhail Nagoga, titled "Ultra-scaled
Z-RAM cell," Z-RAM cells based on Multiple-gate SOI
MOSFETS (MUGFETs) with gate length down to 50nm and fin
width down to 11nm were demonstrated.
Based on simulations the basic operational principles are
effective on Z-RAM cells with gate lengths down to 12.5nm
and fin widths of 3nm. MUGFET devices exhibit the largest
programming window (margin). Measured as the difference
in current between STATE 1 and STATE 0, the programming
window of these devices is close to 22µA.
Innovative silicon is working closely with Hynix to make
Z-RAM as mainstream technology.
