Abstract: Described herein are one access transistor and one ferroelectric capacitor (1T-1FE-CAP) memory cells in diagonal arrangements, as well as corresponding methods and devices. When access transistors of memory cells are implemented as FinFETs, then, in a first diagonal arrangement, memory cells are arranged so that the BLs for the cells are diagonal with respect to the fins of the access transistors of the cells, while the WLs for the cells are perpendicular to the fins. In a second diagonal arrangement, memory cells are arranged so that the fins of the access transistors of the cells are diagonal with respect to the WLs for the cells, while the BLs for the cells are perpendicular to the WLs. Such diagonal arrangements may advantageously allow achieving high layout densities of 1T-1FE-CAP memory cells and may benefit from the re-use of front-end transistor process technology with relatively minor adaptations.

Abstract: An analog multiplication circuit includes switched capacitors to multiply digital operands in an analog representation and output a digital result with an analog-to-digital convertor. The capacitors are arranged with a capacitance according to the respective value of the digital bit inputs. To perform the multiplication, the capacitors are selectively charged according to the first operand of the multiplication. The capacitors are then connected to a common interconnect for charge sharing across the capacitors, averaging the charge according to the charge determined by the first operand. The capacitor are then maintained or discharged according to a second operand, such that the remaining charge represents a number of “copies” of the averaged charge. The capacitors are then averaged and output for conversion by an analog-to-digital convertor. This circuit may be repeated to construct a multiply-and-accumulate circuit by combining charges from several such multiplication circuits.

Abstract: Described herein are anti-ferroelectric (AFE) memory cells and corresponding methods and devices. For example, in some embodiments, an AFE memory cell disclosed herein includes a capacitor employing an AFE material between two capacitor electrodes. Applying a voltage to one electrode of such capacitor allows boosting the charge at the other electrode, where nonlinear behavior of the AFE material between the two electrodes may advantageously manifest itself in that, for a given voltage applied to the first electrode, a factor by which the charge is boosted at the second electrode of the capacitor may be substantially different for different values of charge at that electrode before the boost. Connecting the second capacitor electrode to a storage node of the memory cell may then allow boosting the charge on the storage node so that different logic states of the memory cell become more clearly resolvable, enabling increased retention times.
