1-Transistor SRAM Cell Scales to FinFET Technology Node

Zeno’s one-transistor Bi-SRAM uses a single transistor and is ~5× smaller than a conventional SRAM — which uses six-transistor bitcells (6T-SRAM) — at the same technology node One way to look at a ...

Moore Memory Problems

The scaling of the 6T SRAM cell is slowing and the surrounding circuitry is getting more complex, so more of the die will be taken up by SRAM at future nodes. The six-transistor static memory cell ...

Read and Write Stability of 6T SRAM

SRAM cells are designed to ensure that the contents of the cell are not altered during read access and the cell can quickly change its state during write operation. These conflicting requirements for ...
