INTEGRATED CIRCUIT INCLUDING READ ONLY MEMORY (ROM) CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240349497 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT INCLUDING READ ONLY MEMORY (ROM) CELL
The abstract describes an integrated circuit with a read-only memory (ROM) cell that includes an on-cell. The on-cell consists of a first source/drain region, a second source/drain region, a frontside contact connecting the first source/drain region to a bit line on the front side, and a backside contact connecting the second source/drain region to a power line on the back side. The bit line provides a bit line signal, and the power line provides a power supply voltage signal to the on-cell. The bit line and power line are vertically aligned with each other.
- The integrated circuit features a ROM cell with an on-cell structure.
- The on-cell includes first and second source/drain regions.
- A frontside contact connects the first source/drain region to a bit line.
- A backside contact connects the second source/drain region to a power line.
- The bit line provides a bit line signal, while the power line supplies power to the on-cell.
- The bit line and power line are vertically aligned for efficient operation.
Potential Applications: - Memory storage devices - Embedded systems - Consumer electronics
Problems Solved: - Efficient data storage and retrieval - Improved circuit integration - Enhanced performance in electronic devices
Benefits: - Faster data access - Reduced power consumption - Compact design for space-saving applications
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced ROM Cell Technology for Enhanced Data Storage" This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as: - Smartphones - Tablets - Wearable devices
Questions about ROM Cell Technology: 1. How does the alignment of the bit line and power line contribute to the efficiency of the integrated circuit?
- The vertical alignment reduces signal interference and improves data transmission speed.
2. What are the key advantages of using an on-cell structure in a ROM cell?
- The on-cell structure allows for a more compact design and efficient data storage capabilities.
