Floating body memory cell system and method of manufacture

摘要

A plurality of integrated circuit features are provided in the context of an array of memory cells including a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines. Each memory cell includes a floating body or is volatile memory. The aforementioned features may include, among others, an option whereby the foregoing bit lines may be situated below a channel region of corresponding memory cells, etc.

主权项

1. An integrated circuit, comprising:
an array of memory cells including a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines, where each memory cell includes a writeable floating body and a polysilicon field conductor positioned below the writeable floating body and between a pair of the plurality of word lines or a pair of the plurality of bit lines; wherein the bit lines extend in a first direction that is different from a second direction in which the current flows through the floating body of corresponding memory cells.
