Method of operating semiconductor memory device with floating body transistor using silicon controlled rectifier principle
Abstract:
An exemplary semiconductor memory cell is provided to include: a floating body region configured to be charged to a level indicative of a state of the memory cell; a first region in electrical contact with the floating body region; a second region in electrical contact with the floating body region and spaced apart from the first region; a gate positioned between the first and second regions; a buried layer region in electrical contact with the floating body region, below the first and second regions, spaced apart from the first and second regions; and a substrate region configured to inject charge into the floating body region to maintain the state of the memory cell; wherein an amount of charge injected into the floating body region is a function of a charge stored in the floating body region.
