摘要: A memory device and an operation method thereof are provided. The memory device includes memory cells, each having a static random access memory (SRAM) cell and a non-volatile memory cell. The SRAM cell is configured to store complementary data at first and second storage nodes. The non-volatile memory cell is configured to replicate and retain the complementary data before the SRAM cell loses power supply, and to rewrite the replicated data to the first and second storage nodes of the SRAM cell after the power supply of the SRAM cell is restored.

摘要: A method of forming a memory device includes the following operations. A first conductive plug is formed within a first dielectric layer over a substrate. A treating process is performed to transform a portion of the first conductive plug into a buffer layer, and the buffer layer caps the remaining portion of the first conductive plug. A phase change layer and a top electrode are sequentially formed over the buffer layer. A second dielectric layer is formed to encapsulate the top electrode and the underlying phase change layer. A second conductive plug is formed within the second dielectric layer and in physical contact with the top electrode. A filamentary bottom electrode is formed within the buffer layer.

摘要: A data processing method, a data processing circuit, and a computing apparatus are provided. In the method, data is obtained. A first value of a bit of the data is switched into a second value according to data distribution and an accessing property of memory. The second value of the bit is stored in the memory in response to switching the bit.

摘要: A memory array and a structure of the memory array are provided. The memory array includes flash transistors, word lines and bit lines. The flash transistors are arranged in columns and rows. The flash transistors in each column are in serial connection with one another. The word lines are respectively coupled to gate terminals of a row of the flash transistors. The bit lines are respectively coupled to opposite ends of a column of the flash transistors. Band-to-band tunneling current at a selected flash transistor is utilized as read current during a read operation. The BTB tunneling current flows from one of the source/drain terminals of the selected flash transistor to the substrate, rather than flowing from one of the source/drain terminals to the other. As a result, charges stored in multiple programming sites of each flash transistor can be respectively sensed.
