Abstract

A structure of dynamic random access memory includes a field effect transistor (FET), a capacitor, a world line and a bit line. The gate of the FET is electrically coupled to the word line in which a voltage source is supplied through the world line to the gate. The drain region of the FET is electrically coupled to a lower electrode of the capacitor. The capacitor has an upper electrode being electrically coupled to the gate of the FET either. The source region of the FET is electrically coupled to the bit line.
