Technologies for a three-dimensional (3D) multi-bit non-volatile dynamic random access memory (nvDRAM) device, which may include a DRAM array having a plurality of DRAM cells with single or dual transistor implementation and a non-volatile memory (NVM) array having a plurality of NVM cells with single or dual transistor implementations, where the DRAM array and the NVM array are arranged by rows of word lines and columns of bit lines. The nvDRAM device may also include one or more of isolation devices coupled between the DRAM array and the NVM array and configured to control connection between the dynamic random access bit lines (BLs) and the non-volatile BLs. The word lines run horizontally and may enable to select one word of memory data, whereas bit lines run vertically and may be connected to storage cells of different memory address.

Nonvolatile memory structures with DRAM

Technologies for various memory structures for artificial intelligence (AI) applications and methods thereof are described. An XNOR circuit along with a sense amplifier may be combined with an array (or multiple arrays) of memory such as non-volatile memory (NVM) or an NVM, SRAM combination to perform an XNOR operation on the data read from the memory. Various versions may include different connections allowing simplification of circuitry or timing. In some examples, memory array may include programmable resistor/switch device combinations, or multiple columns connected to a single XNOR+SA circuit.
