Fully-depleted FBC (floating body cell) with enlarged signal window and excellent logic process compatibility

Fully-depleted (FD) floating body cell on 55nm SOI featuring excellent logic process compatibility has been successfully developed. For the first time FD operation is reported through significant signal enlargement by negative substrate bias. Using standard salicide process and FD operation, high-density embedded memory on SOI is achievable.
