Abstract
Embodiments relate to a two-transistor (2T) floating-body cell (FBC) for embedded-DRAM applications. Further embodiments pertain to a floating-body/gate cell (FBGC), which yields reduction in power dissipation, in addition to better signal margin, longer data retention, and higher memory density.
