DRAM Technology - Smithsonian Institution

OVERVIEWDRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) is the main memory used for all desktop and largercomputers. Each elementary DRAM cell is made up of a single MOS transistor and a storagecapacitor (Figure 7-1). Each storage cell contains one bit of information. This charge, however,leaks off the capacitor due to the sub-threshold current of the cell transistor. Therefore, the chargemust be refreshed several times each second. HOW THE DEVICE WORKSThe memory cell is written to by placing a 1 or 0 charge into the capacitor cell.
