Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A non-destructive readout (NDRO) scheme excluding polarization switching from a ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) has been proposed as a solution for extending the number of readout cycles. In the NDRO FeRAM, however, the readout signal is so small that the NDRO operation is sensitive to deformation of the P-V hysteresis loop, which is a manifestation of imprint phenomena. In order to minimize the imprint effect, we introduced an asymmetrical polarization programming scheme. Using this scheme, we demonstrate a reliable NDRO scheme that can provide an FeRAM with an extended number of readout cycles more than 10^<16>.
