DRAM basics and its quest for thermal stability by optimizing peripheral transistors
For decades, compute architectures have relied on dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) as their main memory, providing temporary storage from which processing units retrieve data and program code. The high-speed operation, large integration density, cost-effectiveness, and excellent reliability have contributed to the widespread adoption of DRAM technology in many electronic devices. DRAM bit cell—the element that…
