ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an integrated circuit electrode memory array having a plurality of FET memory cells arranged in rows and columns and formed on the same integrated circuit chip with associated support circuits. Each memory cell of the array has a capacitive storage region, an adjacent channel region, and a gate region for controlling the transfer of binary information through the channel region in and out of the capacitive storage region. Each memory cell also has a bit line contact region which is shared with an adjacent memory cell. The word lines are arranged in rows in a substantially equidistant parallel relationship, each word line passing, in succession, over the storage region of a first one of the memory cells and electrically integral with the gate region of a second one of the memory cells. The column arrangement of memory cells is interdigitated such that the memory cells associated with a single bit line are arranged in first and second parallel lines along both the left and right sides of each bit line. Thus, the bit line is arranged in a zig-zag configuration alternatively contacting memory cells arranged along its left and right side.
