READ-ONLY MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240341092 titled 'READ-ONLY MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD
The abstract describes a read-only memory (ROM) device that includes a complementary field effect transistor (CFET) device with two different types of semiconductor devices.
- The CFET device consists of a first semiconductor device of a first type and a second semiconductor device of a second type, which is different from the first type.
- The second semiconductor device is positioned over or under the first semiconductor device.
- A first word line is connected to the gate of the first semiconductor device, while a second word line is connected to the gate of the second semiconductor device.
- At least one bit line is connected to either the first source/drain of the first semiconductor device or the first source/drain of the second semiconductor device.
