Abstract

This brief presents an on-chip bias temperature instability (BTI) monitor to accurately detect performance degradation caused by negative BTI (NBTI) and positive BTI (PBTI) in DRAM periphery. The proposed BTI monitor is capable of isolated measurement of both NBTI and PBTI using a configurable pull-up and pull-down switching network. The dual-delay line topology also ensures fast measurement to minimize unwanted BTI recovery, which reduces measurement accuracy. In addition, a calibration scheme for process variation is proposed using body biasing of devices that mimics BTI-induced stress to further enhance measurement accuracy.

具有可配置开关网络的 N/PBTI 隔离式 BTI 监视器以及针对内存外围工艺变化的校准功能

本简介介绍一种片上偏置温度不稳定性（BTI）监控器，用于准确检测 DRAM 外围负 BTI（NBTI）和正 BTI（PBTI）引起的性能下降。利用可配置的上拉和下拉开关网络，拟议的 BTI 监测器能够隔离测量 NBTI 和 PBTI。双延迟线拓扑结构还能确保快速测量，最大限度地减少不必要的 BTI 恢复，因为 BTI 恢复会降低测量精度。此外，为了进一步提高测量精度，还提出了一种针对制程变化的校准方案，即利用器件的体偏压来模拟 BTI 引起的应力。
