    Abstract

    A 64-Mbit DRAM with WSix/P+poly-Si gate NMOS cell transistors (P+gate DRAM) has been developed to improve the DRAM data retention time of tail-distribution. The data retention time that corresponds to 0.01% failure bit in the cumulative probability of P+gate DRAM is 2.7 times longer than that of conventional N+gate DRAM. The main reason for improving data retention time is that low channel-doping level, which is achieved by P+gate DRAM, reduces the electric field at around 0.04um depth below the surface.
