发明名称 Self-repairing technique in nano-scale SRAM to reduce parametric failures
摘要 A self-repairing SRAM and a method for reducing parametric failures in SRAM. On-chip leakage or delay monitors are employed to detect inter-die Vt process corners, in response to which the SRAM applies adaptive body bias to reduce the number of parametric failures in a die and improve memory yield. Embodiments include circuitry for applying reverse body bias (RBB) to the SRAM array in the presence of a low inter-die Vt process corner, thereby reducing possible read and hold failures, and applying forward body bias (FBB) to the array in the presence of a high inter-die Vt process corner, thereby reducing possible access and write failures.
