Highly scalable FBC (Floating Body Cell) with 25nm BOX structure for embedded DRAM applications

A novel FBC with 25nm-thick BOX (buried oxide) structure has been developed. A feature of new FBC is scalability in the case of thinner SOI, which promises embedded DRAM on SOI in future generations. Using 96Kbit array, the pause time distribution of FBC is demonstrated for the first time. Due to simplified structure, pause time variation of new FBC is significantly suppressed compared with conventional FBC.
