One-transistor type DRAM

Abstract

A one-transistor type DRAM including a floating body storage element connected between a bit line and a source line and controlled by a word line comprises a plurality of source lines and word lines arranged in a row direction, a plurality of bit lines arranged in a column direction, a plurality of clamp bit lines and reference bit lines arranged in a column direction, a cell array including the floating body storage element and formed in a region where the source line, the word line and the bit line are crossed, a clamp cell array including the floating body storage element and formed in a region where the source line, the word line and the bit line are crossed, a reference cell array including the floating body storage element and formed in a region where the source line, the word line and the bit line are crossed, and a sense amplifier and a write driving unit connected to the bit line and configured to receive a clamp voltage and a reference voltage.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
