  • Abstract
    A novel lateral single electron memory (L-SEM) architecture and its high-speed write operation were demonstrated with a write time comparable to conventional DRAMs. Excellent subthreshold characteristics of the sense MOSFET with split gates were also presented. The robustness of the L-SEM cell structure was also discussed in terms of the offset charge issue.
