摘要
The operation of a ferroelectric DRAM cell for nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) applications is described. Because polarization reversal only occurs during nonvolatile store /recall operations but not during read/write operations, ferroelectric fatigue is not a serious endurance problem. For a 3-V power supply, the worst-case effective silicon dioxide thickness of the unoptimized lead zirconate titanate film studied here is less than 17 Å. This cell can be the basis of a very high-density NVRAM with practically no read/write cycle limit and at least 1010 nonvolatile store/recall cycles. © 1990 IEEE
