Abstract
A 128kb ferroelectric memory macro for a contact/contactless smart card microcontroller was studied. The macro uses 3-metal process capacitor-on-metal/via-stacked-plug (CMVP) memory cell, voltage regulation architecture, main/sub bit line and word line structure and dynamic-type offset sense amplifier. The memory cell array featuring low current consumption and memory size flexibility was produced using 3-metal wiring. The offset sense amplifier was used to improve ferroelectric memory reliability.
