Description of the invention () Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a method for sensing voltage in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). System and its application'especially relates to a voltage sensing system stored in a memory cell in an embedded dynamic random access memory of a Low Voltage Logic Process (L0gic Process). Accurately distinguish voltages stored in memory cells during low voltage operation. Background of the invention: Random access memory (Random Access Memory; Ram) is a kind of volatile (Volatile) memory, in which the dynamic random access memory is determined by the charged state of the capacitor in the memory cell. Digital signal stored. Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a schematic diagram of a memory cell of a conventional dynamic random access memory. The so-called DRAM memory cell 10 is generally composed of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor 15 and a capacitor 20, and the bit line 25 and word line 30 are controlled by The activation of the metal-oxide semi-conductive crystal 15 is to charge or discharge the capacitor 20 to adjust the capacity of the charge stored in the capacitor 20, and then determine whether the digital signal stored is "Γ" or "0". 2 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 g t) 1 ¥ w V ------ I --- 1--installation -------- order ---- ---- I 1 ^ (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 527602 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention () When reading from the DRAM memory cell 10 In the recorded data, the gate zigzag line 3 connected to the metal-oxide semi-conductive crystal 5 is applied with a voltage to start the metal-oxide semi-conductive crystal 15 and the bit line 25 is switched to the sense amplifier (Sense Amplifier) (not shown), so the capacitor 20 in the memory cell 10 of the DRAM will be electrically connected to the sense amplifier. The sense amplifier will The voltage from the capacitor 20 is compared with the reference voltage (Reference v0hage), so that it can be determined whether the data stored in the memory cell 10 of the DRAM is "Γ" or "0". Since the above reading operation will crack the data originally stored in the memory cell 10 of the Dram, after reading, the memory cell 10 of the DRAM must be charged to restore the original stored data. In addition, the charge stored in the capacitor 20 in the DRAM memory cell 10 will also be lost with time. Therefore, the DRAM memory cell 10 needs to be continuously charged and discharged to maintain the digits stored in the DRAM. data. Although the DRAM memory cell 10 has frequent read and write operations, and the design of peripheral circuits (such as the charge and discharge circuit, the circuit of the sense amplifier, etc.) is therefore complicated, each DRAM memory cell requires only one transistor and one Capacitors have a simple structure, and the use of high integration design and manufacturing can reduce the manufacturing cost of DRAM and obtain good read and write functions.

Description of the invention () Embedded DRAM is mainly designed in multi-function chips, such as system sheets Chip (System-on-a-Chip; SoC) to provide fast service for systems in a chip. Due to the rapid progress of process technology, the number of transistors that can be accommodated in a wafer has also increased rapidly. In order to meet the increasing demand for system performance and reduce the cost of chip production, more and more designs are integrating several functions that were originally distributed in each chip into a single chip to become the so-called system-on-a-chip. As SoCs have more and more functions, and they are more and more advanced, the number of embedded DRAMs in the logic process required for SoCs has also increased. In order to reduce the power consumption and the heat generated during operation, most chips operate at low voltage, so the operation of the embedded DRAM is also performed at low voltage, such as 丨 5 Volts-〇5 you 4 main + 0 Say you will be between U. 5 and 5 (depending on the circuit design) 'and is different from the operating voltage of the conventional DRAM (such as between 3 3 volts--1 · 0 volts). ’Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 at the same time. The relationship between Figure 2 and Figure 2 shows the relationship between voltage and time in memory cells during operation of DRAM. When reading the Bebe leaf days recorded in the memory cell of the DRAM, the bit line 25 is applied with a voltage by the pre-charging circuit. Once jealous, ν, the window from + ^ is generally one of the operating voltage range 75.

There are two cases when the digital signal is "0,". Firstly, the case where the digital signal stored in the & memory cell is "1" will be described. In the first stage at 60, the bit line 25 is The reference voltage is applied by the sense amplifier, as shown by the bit line voltage curve 50. At the same time, the voltage stored in the memory cell 10 is shown as the memory cell voltage curve 65, which is near the highest level of the operating voltage range 75 , That is, voltage 55, indicates that the digital signal stored in the memory cell in the second stage 8 0 'because the word line 30 is pressed, the metal-oxide semi-conductive crystal 15 electrically connected to the word line 30 is turned on. At this time, the bit line 2 5 is electrically connected to the sense amplifier, so the capacitor 2 0 is electrically connected to the sense amplifier through the activated metal-oxide semi-conductive crystal 15 and the bit line 25. There is a voltage difference between the element line 25 and the capacitor 20, so when the two are electrically connected, in order to achieve the purpose of voltage balance, the voltage of the capacitor 20 drops, that is, the voltage of the memory cell 10 drops, such as the voltage curve of the memory cell 6 5 As shown, the voltage of bit line 25 rises at the same time, as shown by the bit line voltage curve 50.

Description of the invention () At 60 o'clock, the voltage stored in the memory cell 10 is as shown in the memory cell voltage curve 90, which is at the lowest level near the operating voltage range 75, that is, the voltage 9 5 'indicates that the remaining digital signal in the memory cell is "0". In the second stage 80, since the word line 30 is pressed, the metal-oxygen semiconducting electrically connected to the word line 30 The crystal 5 is activated. At this time, the bit line μ is electrically connected to the sense amplifier, so the capacitor 20 is electrically connected to the sense amplifier through the activated metal-oxide semi-conductive crystal 15 and the bit line 25. Because there is a voltage difference between the bit line 25 and the capacitor 20, when the two are electrically connected, in order to achieve the purpose of voltage balance, the voltage of the capacitor 2 rises, that is, the voltage of the memory cell 10 rises, such as the voltage of the memory cell Curve 90 is shown, and at the same time, the voltage of bit line 25 is decreased, as shown by bit line voltage curve 85. Embedded DRAM is through Sense amplifier reference voltage and the voltage of the memory cell for a more 'an amount of a phase difference between the two stars, each of the memory cells to be distinguished stored digital signal is "1" or "square ,,.
