Abstract
Novel cell technologies are successfully developed for the world's highest-density and highest-speed 128Mb chain FeRAM™ with SDRAM-compatible 1.6GByte/s DDR2 interface. To overcome the signal window reduction due to the capacitor shrinkage, new cell technologies such as half-pitch layout with triangular capacitors, advanced nestled chain structure, high-density cover film and low-damage etching technique are established. New architecture with small bit line capacitance of 60fF is also installed [1]. With these new technologies, the cell signal window reaches 380 mV, which is sufficient for stable 128Mb 1T1C operation.
