Abstrakt: This paper describes a process integration of Merged DRAM (dynamic random access memory) with Logic and Analog (MDLA) using high performance 0.35 µm CMOS technology for the implementation of "System on a Chip". DRAM whose cell size was 2.1 µm2and analog cores were embedded in 0.35 µm logic chip without sacrifice of transistor performance of logic circuitry. The obtained values of Idsaturationof NMOS/PMOS transistors were about 530 and 250 µA/µm at 3.3 V, respectively. Dual gate oxide process was developed to support 5 V operation as well as 3.3 V operation. The key process feature of this study was that the aluminum alloy layer was used as a bit line in DRAM cells on the contrary to the employment of polycide in the conventional DRAM technology. In this study, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor scheme was employed for the applications in high-resolution analog cores. The low value of voltage coefficient of capacitance as low as 10 ppm/V could be achieved with MIM scheme.
