Zusammenfassung: | Three types of electron injection scheme: both side injection scheme and self-repair one side injection scheme Type A (injection for once) and Type B (injection for twice) are proposed and analyzed comprehensively for 65nm technology node 6T- and 8T-SRAM cells to find the optimum injection scheme and cell architecture. It is found that the read speed degrades by as much as 6.3 times in the 6T-SRAM with the local injected electrons. However, the read speed of the 8T-SRAM cell does not degrade because the read port is separated from the write pass gate transistors. Furthermore, the self-repair one side injection scheme is most suitable to solve the conflict of the half select disturb and write characteristics. The worst cell characteristics of Type A and Type B self-repair one side injection schemes were found to be the same. In the self-repair one side injection 8T-SRAM, the disturb margin increases by 141% without write margin or read speed degradation. The proposed schemes have no process or area penalty compared with the standard CMOS-process. |
