10.2 A single-transistor DRAM cell is represented by the following circuit diagram. Thebitline can be precharged to VDD/2 by using a clocked precharge circuit Also theWRITE circuit is assumed here to bring the potential of the bitline to VDD or 0 Vduring the WRITE operation with wordline at VDD. Using the parameter given:

VT0 = 1.0 V

• γ = 0.3V1/2

• |2φF| = 0.6 V

(a) Find the maximum voltage across the storage capacitor Cs after WRITE-1 operation, i.e., when the bitline is driven to VDD= 5 V.


(b) Assuming zero leakage current in the circuit, find the voltage at the bitline during READ-1 operation after bitline is first precharged to VDD/2.
