Abstract

As we move in sub-nanometer range, we have to deal with its darker side with problems like short channel effects. The yield loss due to device and process variations has never been so critical to cause failure in circuits. Due to growth in size of embedded SRAMs as well as usage of small size memory cells, process variations in cells leads to significant loss of yield for that we need to come up with process variation tolerant circuit styles and new devices. In this paper, we have used reverse bitlines feedback control (RBLFC) and data isolation enhanced read (DIER) techniques which results in 7 sigma yield at system level. The novel structure of proposed 8T cell gives 6% higher hold static noise margin (HSNM) and 66% higher write static noise margin (WSNM) as compared to conventional 6T cell. Proposed 8T cell allows 29% faster write operation as compared to 6T with 20% lower leakage power.
一个强大的8T FinFET SRAM单元,具有提高的稳定性,适用于低电压应用
当我们进入亚纳米范围时,我们必须处理它的阴暗面,比如短通道效应。由于器件和工艺变化造成的良率损失从未如此严重地导致电路故障。由于嵌入式sram尺寸的增长以及小尺寸存储单元的使用,单元中的工艺变化会导致产量的显著损失,因此我们需要提出工艺变化容忍电路样式和新器件。在本文中,我们使用了反向位线反馈控制(RBLFC)和数据隔离增强读取(DIER)技术,从而在系统级产生7西格玛良率。与传统的6T电池相比,所提出的新型8T电池的保持静态噪声裕度(HSNM)提高6%,写入静态噪声裕度(WSNM)提高66%。与6T相比,8T电池的写入操作速度提高了29%,泄漏功率降低了20%。
