Abstract :
We present a reliability analysis of a new vertical MOSFET with the middle partial insulation and block oxide (bMPI) structure for 1T-DRAM applications. The proposed 1T-DRAM device can increase the pseudo-neutral region due to the bMPI under the vertical channel and its device sensing current window is improved by about 95% when compared to the planer bMPI 1T-DRAM. Owing to the double-gate structure, vertical bMPI has great gate controllability over the channel region; hence, it can reduce the short-channel effects (SCEs) and enhance the current drive. And the VbMPI 1T-DRAM cell can keep holes in nature body region, which leads to an increase in data retention time.
