A7 * B7__ 5. Description of the Invention (,) The present invention relates to a non-volatile semiconductor memory device, especially to a memory cell including a Ferroelectric capacitors for ferroelectric capacitors. Figure 1A shows the symbol of a ferroelectric capacitor, and Figure 1B shows the relationship between the node charge and the voltage acting on it. Please refer to Section 1B_. Those skilled in the art should be familiar with capacitors using ferroelectric materials as dielectric materials. When a voltage is applied between two nodes of the capacitor, hysteresis will be generated, and due to the voltage, the charge will be accumulated. . When the voltage between the two nodes of the ferroelectric capacitor is 0 [volts], there are two states of the ferroelectric capacitor that can accumulate electricity, such as " S1 "and " S2''e. As a result, even when there is no power supply, Ferroelectric capacitors can store two-bit types of data. Due to the characteristics of ferroelectric capacitors, they can be used as non-volatile memory devices for billion-meter devices. Moreover, the voltage can be changed according to the voltage across the ferroelectric capacitor. The polarization state of a ferroelectric capacitor changes the charge stored in the ferroelectric capacitor. If an appropriate negative voltage is applied to a ferroelectric capacitor in the "S1" polarization state, the capacitor state changes with the direction of the arrow in Figure 1B. Therefore, the polarization state also changes with 。. Then, if the voltage between the two ends of the capacitor is "0" volts, its state becomes the "S2" state. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, it is detected by The degree of change in the amount of charge generated takes the data stored in the ferroelectric capacitor. Figure 2 shows when the -VI voltage is applied across the ferroelectric capacitor and when + vi National Standard (CNS) A4 Specification (210X297 mm) I ^ ------- C3-Cloths ---- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) _ A7 'B7 V. Description of the invention (>), the change of the charge state when a voltage is applied across the ferroelectric capacitor, the "S1" state of the ferroelectric capacitor is defined as the data "1", and the "ferroelectric capacitor" "S2" status is defined as data " 0 ". First, we assume that -VI voltage is applied across the ferroelectric capacitor. When the initial state of the ferroelectric capacitor is " S1 ", its state changes to " S3 " and the amount of charge changes to AQ1. Meanwhile, in the example where the initial state of the ferroelectric capacitor is "S2", its state is changed to "S4" state, and the amount of charge is changed to AQ0. This change in the amount of electric chair is a charge coupling with a bit line, which is equal to the bit line capacitor of the billion-unit cell array. Moreover, the change in the bit line potential causes the sense amplifier to operate, so a small signal generated by a small amount of charge It is enlarged and output as data. Printed by the Consumer Standards Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Figure 3 shows the circuit diagram of the traditional ferroelectric recording device using ferroelectric capacitors. SA, the ferroelectric memory device M1, the piano test voltage generator R1 and a pre-charging circuit P1. The sense amplifier SA senses and amplifies a small potential difference between the bit line B L and the out-of-phase element line B L B. The billion cell unit M1 includes a plurality of unit cells, each of which includes a switching transistor and a ferroelectric capacitor, and is used to store data. The reference voltage generator R1 generates a reference voltage required for sensing and amplification. The pre-charging circuit P1 pre-charges the bit line BL and the anti-phase element line BLB to a ground level. In the switching transistor of the billion-cell unit M1, its source is coupled to a bit line, and its gate is coupled to a word line. One end of the ferroelectric capacitor is coupled to the drain of the switching transistor, and the other end is coupled to a plate line CP to drive the ferroelectric capacitor. Therefore, the pre-charging circuit P1 forms a series coupling with the bit line BL and the anti-phase element line BLB, and contains two NMOSi transistors. The paper size of this transistor is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm). ) A 7 B7 V. Description of the Invention (4) A one-bit wire precharge signal BLP is applied to the gate of the body, and its common source is connected to the ground terminal. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Please refer to Figure 3, the operation of the traditional ferroelectric memory device will be explained in detail below. The most important thing is that in the standby state, a high-level bit line precharge signal BLP is applied, so that the precharge bit line BL and the inverse phase line BLB are precharged to the ground level. Secondly, when reading the data stored in the unit cell, a low-level θ bit line precharge signal BLP is applied, so that the bit line BL and the anti-phase bit line BL drift. Subsequently, the high-level word line signal WLO and the high-level plate line CP are applied. At this time, the state of the ferroelectric capacitor becomes the "S 3" state of Fig. 2 and the amount of charge of Δ Q 1 or A Q 2 is released into the bit line B L to cause a change in the bit line voltage. This bit line voltage change is sensed, thereby being amplified by the sense amplifier SA. When the reference word line signal RMLO and the reference plate RCP are at a high level, the reference voltage of the sense amplifier SA is generated from the reference voltage generator R1. Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards. Figure 4 is a circuit diagram of another traditional ferroelectric memory device using a ferroelectric capacitor. The ferroelectric capacitor includes a sense amplifier, Cell M1, a reference voltage generator R1 and a precharge circuit P1. The sense amplifier S1 senses and amplifies a completely small voltage difference between the bit line BL and the inverse phase line BLB. The billion-unit cell M1 includes a multi-tilt unit, and each unit cell includes a switching transistor and a ferroelectric capacitor, and stores data. The reference voltage generator R1 generates a reference voltage for sensing and amplification. Pre-charging circuit P1 pre-charging bit line BL and anti-phase element line BLB to the ground level. Sense amplifier SA, remembering the unit cell Ml and reference voltage. This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297). (Mm) A7 B7 printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (4) The structure of the generator R1 is the same as that shown in Figure 3. The precharge circuit P1 is coupled in series between the bit line BL and the anti-phase element line BLB, and includes a low level precharge unit BLOCKO and a high level precharge unit BL0CK1. The low-level pre-charging unit BLOCKO includes two NMOS transistors, and a one-bit low-pre-charging signal BLP is supplied to the gate of each transistor. The high-level pre-charging unit BL0CK1 includes two PMOS transistors. Jinglu's gate supplies a one-bit line high precharge signal BHP. At this time, the common source of the two NMOS is coupled to the ground level, and the common source of the two PMOS transistors is combined with the power supply voltage level. In the standby state, the high level of the bit line low precharge signal BLP and the high level of the bit line high precharge signal B Η P are supplied to the corresponding low level precharge unit BLOCKO and Micro Motion The bit pre-charging unit BL0CK1 pre-charges the bit line BL and the anti-phase element line BLB to the ground level. Secondly, for reading the data stored in the cell, the "low level" of the bit line low precharge signal BLP and the "low level" of the bit line high precharge signal B Η P are supplied correspondingly. The low-level pre-charging unit BLOCKO and the high-level pre-charging unit BL0CK1 make the bit line BL and the anti-phase element line BLB pre-charge to the power level. After the pre-charging, the bit line high pre-charge signal BHP It is a high level, so that the bit line BL and the anti-phase element line BLB are in a floating state. Secondly, the word line signal WL0 becomes "high level". At this time, the state of the ferroelectric capacitor CS becomes "S4" state shown in FIG. The bit line voltage is changed.

Description of the invention (?) Capacitor.明明 夕 Note Description This invention will be described below, please refer to the drawings when reading. FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of a ferroelectric memory device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device uses a ferroelectric capacitor and includes a sense amplifier SA, a billion body cell M1, —board driver F1, —reference voltage generator. R1 and a pre-charging circuit PU sense amplifier S AiS measure the small voltage difference between the amplified bit line BL and the anti-phase element lines BI, B. It is recorded that the unit cell M 1 contains multiple units. The unit cell includes a switching transistor and a ferroelectric capacitor, which stores data. The board driver F1 drives the board line PL and the reference voltage generator R1 generates a reference voltage for sensing and amplification. The pre-charging circuit P1 precharges the bit 飨 BL and the phase element line BLB to 1/2 the power supply voltage level in response to the bit line precharge signal B LP. The precharge circuit P1 is coupled between the bit line BL and the anti-phase element line BLB, and includes two NMOS transistors. A precharge signal BLP is applied to the gate bit line of each transistor, and a common source coupling 1 / 2 supply voltage level.

The description of the invention (^) is 1/2 the power supply voltage level, because the voltage difference across the ferroelectric capacitor is Η Ο V " The state of capacitor C 1 is the " S 1 " state or " S 2 " State. In order to read the data stored in the cell to the crystal pin for export, a column address signal is applied and then decoded by the column decoder to select the word line. At this time, in order to detect the charge stored in the cell Before the word line is selected, the bit line BL and the inverted bit line BLB should be in a floating state and still maintained at 1/2 the power supply voltage. In order to perform this operation, the bit line precharge signal BL P should be Low level. Via the low level of the bit line precharge signal BL P, the transistors N 1 and N 2 are turned off, so that the bit line BL and the inverted bit line BL Β are in a floating state. Then, select to the outside The corresponding word line of the active column address, and the voltage of the word line is increased to the 3/2 power supply voltage level. If the word line is selected, the switching transistor in the billion cell is turned on. Moreover, if the driver board With the line PL, the amount of charge stored in the unit cell is transferred to the bit line. In order to read the information stored in the ferroelectric capacitor C1, the word line WLO should be selected. In addition, in order to read the information stored in the iron For the information in capacitor C2, select word line 1. If you select word Line WLO, the switching transistor ST 1 is turned on, and if the word line WL 1 is selected, the switching transistor ST 2 is turned on. When the word line is enhanced, the board driver F1 simultaneously drives the board line PL to 3/2 power supply voltage The level leads to an electrical coupling between the selected cell capacitor and the bit line capacitance, thus causing the potential of the bit line to change. At this time, the reference voltage generating unit R1 is driven by the above method, so a reference voltage is generated. If the word line WLO is selected based on the address, the reference word line brother "11" of the reference electric generation unit R 1 is selected, so that the sensor can be placed -1 0-(Read the precautions on the back before filling this page ) This paper size applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, printed and invented (Xidaqi S1 performs sensing and amplification, the sensing amplifier is coupled The bit line ^ and the inverted bit line BLB. The reference voltage generated by the reference voltage generating unit R1 on the inverted bit line BLB is the intermediate level between the bit line levels. When reading the corresponding data "1" and "0" from the ferroelectric memory device, the level generated on the corresponding bit line. In addition, after the bit line voltage is generated, the board is driven. The line PL enables a sense amplifier to be coupled between the bit line BL and the inverse bit line BLB to amplify the difference between the developed electrical detections to identify data such as binary data, and therefore send it to the output node. At the same time, Figure 7A shows a unit of billions of cells. This unit The billion body cell includes a switching transistor ST1 and a ferroelectric capacitor C1, in which the multi-brain unit records the billion body cell to form the fifth round of the billion body cell Η 1. During the standby state, when the board line PL is maintained At the 1/2 power supply voltage level, the relative node SN of the capacitor C1 should be at the 1/2 power supply voltage level, so that the ferroelectric capacitor C 1 can stay at "S 1" or "S 2" in FIG. 2 Status. After the reading is completed, the potential of the bit line precharge signal BLP becomes the high level, so that the potentials of the bit line BL and the anti-phase element line BLB are 1/2 the power supply voltage level. The element line does not operate, and even after the character line does not operate, the SN node remains at the 1/2 power supply voltage level. However, as in the example in Figure 7B, a leakage current flows from the SN node to the base, making the SN node The potential of the capacitor is gradually reduced, and the ferroelectric capacitor C1 cannot maintain the state "S 1" or "S 2" in the standby state. Instead, it is in the state "S 3". In order to prevent leakage current, such as FIG. 8A illustrates an output buffer frame according to the present invention, which further includes a signal for receiving a control signal. The decoder D1 receives the control signal REF and decodes the address, so the paper size can be applied to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) at predetermined intervals —; ---; ----- 〇 Equipment-(Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page),-'° Employees' Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V.

FIG. 8B shows the signal diagram of the ferroelectric memory device in FIG. 8A. As shown in FIG. 8B, in the standby state, the control signal REF is actuated at predetermined intervals to sequentially turn on the word lines of the cell, so that the potential of the SN node can be precharged to a level of 1/2 the power supply voltage. The bit line performance is maintained at the 1/2 power supply level. The ninth aspect is a ferroelectric memory device according to another embodiment of the present invention, which can prevent the leakage current of the ihSN node. The ferroelectric memory device further includes an NMOS transistor N 1, which is coupled between the S N node and the 1/2 power supply voltage, and receives a control signal S N D flowing through its gate. Among them, in the standby state, the control signal SHD becomes " high level " to precharge the SN node to 1/2, and becomes " low level " when the read operation is started, because it can prevent leakage current and The potential in the standby state is reduced. # 10_ is a circuit diagram of a ferroelectric memory device according to another embodiment of the present invention, which uses a ferroelectric capacitor.
