Abstract
This 3.3V 64Mb DRAM in a 176.4mm² die has 33ns typical RAS access time and 15ns typical column address access time. The key to small die and high reliability is an asymmetrical stacked trench capacitor (AST) cell in a pMOS centered inter-­digitated twisted bit line (PCITBL) scheme. Three circuit techniques are developed to meet speed requirements: pre­ boosted wordline-driveline, bypassed sense-amplifier drive­ line and 3-stage differential amplifier with directly-driven data-out buffer.
