    Abstract: Bits are stored in an array with multiple capacitors per access transistor. An array of multiple ferroelectric capacitors shares a nanowire or nanosheet as a common plate and stores information accessed by a single common select transistor, which uses the nanowire or nanosheet for its channel. In an integrated circuit (IC) system, a group of bitlines is connected to a capacitor array by arrays of nanowires or nanosheets and wordline-controlled non-planar transistors. An IC die with a capacitor array accessed by a single select transistor and sharing a nanowire or nanosheet is coupled to a power supply and a cooling structure.
