Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a SRAM (static random access memory) bit cell. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a single port, 8T SRAM cell with write enhance pass gate transistors. Particularly, two write enhance pass gate transistors are parallelly connected with the pass gate transistors in a standard 6T SRAM cell. The write enhance pass gate transistors are independently controlled from the pass gate transistor using a write enhance word line. In some embodiments, the single port, 8T SRAM cell according to the present disclosure may be implemented by stacked complementary FETs. Empty or dummy PMOS transistors in a standard 6T stacked CFET SRAM cell are used as pass gate transistors or write enhance pass gate transistors.
