We present a 46nm 6F 2 buried word-line (bWL) DRAM technology, enabling the smallest cell size of 0.013um2 published to date. The TiN/ W buried word-line is built below the Si surface, forming a low resistive interconnect and the metal gate of the array transistors. We demonstrate high array device on-current, small parameter variability, high reliability and small parasitic capacitances, resulting in an excellent array performance. The array device can be scaled down to 30nm without compromising its performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
