Abstract
En 中文
Flexible static random access memory (SRAM) plays an important role in flexible electronics and systems. However, achieving SRAM with a small footprint, high flexibility, and high thermal stability has always been a big challenge. In this work, an ultraflexible six-transistor SRAM with high integration density is realized based on a monolithic three-dimensional (M3D) design. In this design, vertical stacked n-type indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors and p-type carbon nanotube transistors share common gate and drain electrodes, respectively, saving interlayer vias used in traditional M3D designs. This compact architecture reduces the footprint of the SRAM cell from a six-transistor to a four-transistor area, saving 33% of the area, and significantly enables the SRAM to have the highest flexibility among the reported ones, withstanding a harsh deforming process (6000 cycles of bending at a radius of 500 mu m) without performance degradation. Moreover, this design facilitates the thermal stability of the SRAM under high temperature (333 K). It also exhibits great static and dynamic performance, with the highest normalized hold noise margin of 73.6%, a maximum gain of 151.2, and a minimum static power consumption of 3.15 mu W in hold operation among the reported flexible SRAMs. This demonstration provides possibilities for SRAMs to be used in advanced wearable system applications.
