Any idea why this happens?
> Exposing the capacitor to light causes it to discharge faster.
Capacitors on DRAMs are usually implemented as PN junctions, maybe even parasitic capacitance of a transistor is used. Photons hitting depletion region of PN junction decreasing it hence increasing conductivity.
