In this brief, we investigate device variability in advanced fin field effect transistor (FinFET) static random access memory (SRAM) devices (12 and 7 nm) as a function of drain-to-source (Vds) bias. Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) and the vari

A previously unrecognized vertical-extrinsic device in advanced 7-nm FinFET SRAM structures is identified and characterized for the first time. The ON-current for this vertical-extrinsic device is modulated by gate bias and exhibits a process-depende

An essential goal of the static random access memory (SRAM) array termination design is to both terminate as well as maintain a homogeneous environment for the active edge cells in the array. Local layout effects (LLEs) in the array termination desig

A novel bias-induced healing of address specific failing bits in VLSI SRAM functional arrays is demonstrated for the first time in advanced CMOS nodes. Aging effects due to bias temperature instability (BTI) resulting in device shifts are a well-know

This work reports the application of an ultra-fast insitu characterization capability in SRAM array in advanced nodes. The methodology was tested in fully functional SRAM arrays in 14 nm and 7 nm FinFET nodes, allowing assessment of individual device

Aggressive technology and supply voltage scaling has led to increasing concern for reliability. Optimizing power and energy with sub-threshold (sub-V T ) operation exponentially increases the occurrences of both static and dynamic failures. With smal

Recent works show bias temperature instability (BTI) is a detrimental hard-aging mechanism in CMOS circuit design. Negative BTI (NBTI) alone degrades circuit speed upwards of 20% over a 10 year life-span. Having the ability to track the actual aging

Competitive density, performance, and functional objectives of the SRAM bit cell require design rules which are much more aggressive than those used in base logic designs. Because soft fail yield in SRAM is dependent on the device threshold and thres

Large scale 6T SRAM beyond 65 nm will increasingly rely on assist methods to overcome the functional limitations associated with scaling and the inherent read stability/write margin trade off. The primary focus of the circuit assist methods has been

Extended 6 Transistors (6T) SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory) characterization is used to measure degradation while separating intrinsic from extrinsic yield and accounting for yield assessment challenges such as voltage drop and measurement variabi
