Abstract :
A 96mm/sup 2/, 32Mb chain FeRAM in 0.20/spl mu/m 3M CMOS and stacked capacitor technology is described. Cell efficiency of 65.6% is realized by compact memory cell structure and segment/stitch WL architecture. The word line power-on/off sequence protects the data from startup noise. A 3/spl mu/A standby current bias generator and compatible access mode SRAM are implemented for mobile applications.
