More Information
Summary:A dynamic random access memory device (10) includes three separate sections-an input/output section (12), a peripheral transistor section (14), and a memory array section (16), all formed on a p- type substrate layer (18). The dynamic random access memory device (10) can employ separate substrate bias voltages for each section. The input/output section (12) has a p- type region (22) that is isolated from the p- type substrate layer (18) by an n- type well region (20). The peripheral transistor section (14) has a p- type region (36) that can be isolated from the p- type substrate layer (18) by an optional n- type well region (40) for those devices which require a different substrate bias voltage between the peripheral transistor section (14) and the memory array section (16).
