A Swiss team has demonstrated that it is possible to use a normally undesirable side-effect of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistors as a more compact memory than DRAM. The team, comprising ...

Austin, Texas — Semiconductor researchers are pursuing an emerging memory type that uses the floating-body effect of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology as the memory storage mechanism. At last ...

“Unlike the traditional 2D Floating Body Cell that uses body effect to change the cell current, our BCM mechanism employs a back-gate voltage to modulate the channel depth. This patented invention ...

One-Transistor (1T-DRAM): A DRAM cell configuration that utilises a single transistor to perform write, hold, and read operations, thereby reducing cell size. Floating Body Effect: A phenomenon in ...
