    摘要: A high retention time memory element is described that has dual gate devices. In one example, the memory element has a write transistor with a metal gate having a source coupled to a write bit line, a gate coupled to a write line, and a drain coupled to a storage node, wherein a value is written to the storage node by enabling the gate and applying the value to the bit line, and a read transistor having a source coupled to a read line, a gate coupled to the storage node, and a drain coupled to a read bit line, wherein the value of the storage node is sensed by applying a current to the source and reading the sense line to determine a status of the gate.
