Abstract

In this paper we will report successfully fabricated six transistor static random access memory (6T SRAM) cells using single-grain thin film transistors (TFTs). SRAM cells have been designed by analytical calculations and verified by DC and transient simulations. TFTs are fabricated by µ-Czochralski process that consists of making grain filter and Excimer laser crystallization at temperatures below 550 °C. The gate length of transistors are 2 µm. Fabricated SRAM cells based on single grain TFTs, show good read and write static noise margin (SNM and WNM) equal to 0.55 and 0.75 V at 3.3 V power supply, respectively. Finally, excellent read and write access times equal to 13 and 8 ns in 87 MHz worldline frequency were obtained.
