ARRANGEMENTS FOR MEMORY WITH ONE ACCESS TRANSISTOR FOR MULTIPLE CAPACITORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107749 titled 'ARRANGEMENTS FOR MEMORY WITH ONE ACCESS TRANSISTOR FOR MULTIPLE CAPACITORS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes various arrangements for IC devices implementing memory with one access transistor for multiple capacitors. An example IC device includes a memory array of memory units, each containing an access transistor and multiple capacitors coupled to it. Some capacitors are formed above the access transistor, while others are formed below it. The capacitors in a memory unit may be coupled to a single via or individual vias, including backside vias in some embodiments.
