Since embedded memory cores usually occupy a large portion of the chip area, they will dominate the manufacturing yield of the system chips. In this paper, a built-in self-test and repair (BISTR) approach is proposed for semiconductor memories with 1-D redundancy (redundant rows) structures. The memory rows are virtually divided into row blocks and reconfiguration is performed at the row block level instead of the traditional row level. That is, the virtual divided word line (VDWL) concept is used for repairing of memory cores. The hardware overhead is almost negligible. An experimental chip is implemented and shows a low area overhead - about 3.06% for a 256 /spl times/ 512 SRAM with 4 spare rows. We also compare the repair rate of our approach with previous memory repair algorithms. It also concludes that our approach improves the repair rate significantly.","PeriodicalId":415606,"journal":{"name":"Records of the 2004 International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing, 2004.","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114223422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the soft error rate that has been observed (at least terrestrially), people have been content with what single bit correction can offer. For the rare occasion that a double error occurs, ECC will also be able to alert the system and result in a graceful shutdown or otherwise. However, things are changing. As technology scaling continues, we are approaching the point where we will have a billion transistors on a single piece of silicon, with a big part of this budget as memory elements. In a system, the number of memory bits is also on the rise. The scaled technology also brings with it many variations and sensitivities that can cause memory cells to function improperly, or may not function well at certain environmental conditions. Increasingly, ECC is no longer serving as just radiation induced soft error correction, but may be able to affect other forms of fault corrections as well. Will ECC be able to serve this multi-faceted role? Do we need more than single bit error correction? Can we afford the cost of multiple bit error correction? Should we need it? This paper will attempt to answer some of these questions and raise issues with the status quo.","PeriodicalId":415606,"journal":{"name":"Records of the 2004 International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing, 2004.","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125586576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The information related to the repair operation is stored into an on-chip FLASH memory. The machine is user programmable, since it can test memories of different capacity, architecture and aspect ratio, with up to four test algorithms and two test flows. An \"industrial\" test flow is intended for production; while, in case of failure, a more complex \"screening flow\" allows to distinguish whether the unsuccessful repair operation is due to exceeded redundancy capacity or to faulty FLASH programming. This system is aimed to enhance test diagnostic capability and to improve production yield of devices which it is connected to, by-passing the actual losses in time and resources of currently used laser-fuse approach.","PeriodicalId":415606,"journal":{"name":"Records of the 2004 International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing, 2004.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130049493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates the way bit line twisting influences the faulty behavior of DRAMs, based on an analytical evaluation of coupling effects on the one hand, and a simulation-based fault analysis using a Spice simulation model on the other. Two different DRAM twisting schemes, in addition to a third untwisted bit line scheme, are presented and analyzed. Both the analytical and the simulation-based evaluation results show that each scheme has its own specific impact on the faulty behavior. The same approach presented in the paper can be used to analyze the impact of other bit line twisting schemes on the memory faulty behavior.","PeriodicalId":415606,"journal":{"name":"Records of the 2004 International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing, 2004.","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122268970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes Markov based models for analyzing the reliability and availability of different fault-tolerant memory arrangements under the operational scenario of an SEU. These arrangements exploit redundancy (either duplex or triplex replication) for dynamic fault-tolerant operation as provided by arbitration (for error detection and output selection) as well as in the presence of dedicated circuitry implementing different correction/detection codes for bit-flips as errors. The primary objective is to preserve either the correctness, or the fail-safe nature of the data output of the memory system for long mission time. It is shown that a duplex memory system encoded with error control codes has a higher reliability than the triplex arrangement. Moreover, the use of a code for single error correction and double error detection (SEC-DED) improves both availability and reliability compared to an error correction code with same error detection capabilities.","PeriodicalId":415606,"journal":{"name":"Records of the 2004 International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing, 2004.","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124056828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meeting a high memory yield requires understanding memory designs, modelling their faulty behaviors in the presence of defects, designing adequate tests and diagnosis strategies as well as efficient repair schemes.

Diagnosing such a large number of memory cores using a conventional built-in self-test (BIST) architecture consumes too much time, as its on-chip diagnostics support is for sequential diagnosis only. In this paper, we present a memory BIST architecture with parallel diagnosis scheme. The proposed parallel built-in self-diagnosis (PBISD) scheme was developed to work with our existing memory optimization and reconfiguration (MORE) system, which configures small memory cores into the large one specified by the user, subject to the power and geometry constraints. With PBISD and MORE, memory test and diagnosis can be done in a much shorter time, and the whole system provides a good balance among test time, test power, and test hardware overhead. Experimental results show that, when compared with a conventional BISD scheme, the diagnosis time for a case with four memory cores is only 25%. Moreover, the area overhead is only 49%, as only one test pattern generator is required.","PeriodicalId":415606,"journal":{"name":"Records of the 2004 International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing, 2004.","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131819734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
