April 2001 FEP & PIDS WG (Japan) FeRAM Roadmap Here’s a newcomer… S. Kawamura (Japan FEP)
FeRAM Roadmap (version 5.0)
Assumptions 1 Feature Size: 0.35mm expected to be available in early 2002, 0.25mm in 2003. x0.7 every 2-3 year. Memory Capacity: Intend to be aggressive to establish FeRAM market. x4 every 2-3 year.
Storage Node Ferro. Film Plate (Planar) Plate Ferro. Film Storage Node (Stack) Assumptions 2 Cell Size: planar stack (40% reduction), 2T2C 1T1C (40% reduction). Switching Charge Qsw: Constant DVbitline=140mV for sensing. Qsw=Cbitline x DVbitline.
FeRAM vs. DRAM Giga scale integration will be available with a 3D capacitor. Capacity (Mb) Plate Ferro. Film Storage Node 3D 1T1C Year
DVbitline Estimation Based on DRAM roadmap, DVbitline estimated to be 140mV.
Qsw and Capacitor Structure Qsw/2Pr=Required Capacitor Area> Projected Capacitor Size3D.
Issues 1 In order to enjoy “The Silence of the (other) RAM’s,” Reliability comes first to be focused on. *Ferroelectric materials: Should be stable under thermal budgets. *Fatigue: Some 1E+15 is required to compete with SRAM and DRAM.
Issues 2 Application: Limited to small capacity embedded memory. Some “killer applications” should appear to establish FeRAM market. Cost: Not competitive due to large cell size. 1T1C and 3D capacitor are mandatory to reduce cost.
Acknowledgements FEP & PIDS WG (Japan) would like to thank many researchers in this field in Japan: for the basic information and comments to draw up the roadmap, and the United States and Europe: for their useful comments to it .
