Abstract

Described herein are memory cells that include two transistors stacked above one another above a support structure where neither one of the transistors is coupled to a capacitor and where at least one of the two transistors is a thin-film transistor. In such 2T capacitorless memory cells, a first transistor may be referred to a write transistor, and a second transistor may be a read transistor. The first transistor may be a three-terminal device having two S/D terminals and a gate terminal, while the second transistor may be a four-terminal device having two S/D terminals and two gate terminals.
