Abstract: In this work, we demonstrated capacitor-less 4F2 2-terminal InGaAs npn junction DRAM through careful device design. Using epitaxially grown InGaAs which have a steep junction, fabricated InGaAs bistable resistor (biristor) DRAM showed low voltage operation (~2 V), fast switching speed (<20 ns), long-term retention (103 s at 85 °C), and high endurance (>1010 cycles) with a high sensing margin. Considering this feasibility study, we believe that InGaAs $\text{n}^{+}$ pn+ junction DRAM could be a good technological option for future scalable 3D DRAM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
