In current NAND flash design, one of the most challenging issues is reducing peak current consumption (peak ICC), as it leads to peak power drop, which can cause malfunctions in NAND flash memory. This paper presents an efficient approach for reducing the peak ICC of the cache program in NAND flash memory — namely, a program Cache Busy Time (tPCBSY) control method. The proposed tPCBSY control method is based on the interesting observation that the array program current (ICC2) is mainly decided by the bit‐line bias condition. In the proposed approach, when peak ICC2 becomes larger than a threshold value, which is determined by a cache loop number, cache data cannot be loaded to the cache buffer (CB). On the other hand, when peak ICC2 is smaller than the threshold level, cache data can be loaded to the CB. As a result, the peak ICC of the cache program is reduced by 32% at the least significant bit page and by 15% at the most significant bit page. In addition, the program throughput reaches 20 MB/s in multiplane cache program operation, without restrictions caused by a drop in peak power due to cache program operations in a solid‐state drive. 相似文献

A 16 Gb 8-level NAND flash chip on 56 nm CMOS technology has been fabricated and is being reported for the first time. This is the first 3-bit per cell (X3) chip published with all-bitline (ABL) architecture, which doubles the write performance compared with conventional shielded bitline architecture. A new advanced cache program algorithm provides another 15% improvement in write performance. This paper also discusses a technique for resolving the sensing error resulting from cell source line noise, which usually varies with the data pattern. The new architecture and advanced algorithm enable an 8 MB/s write performance that is comparable to previously published 2-bit per cell (4-level) NAND performance. Considering the significant cost reduction compared to 4-level NAND flash based on the same technology, this chip is a strong candidate for many mainstream applications. 相似文献

The circuit design for a high-speed, low-power, magnetic thin-film memory is described. The modest operating-current requirements of the memory element, 50 milliampere word currents and 40 milliampere bit currents, permit the use of integrated selection and recirculation circuits. The selection system uses one transistor per word line and has a matrix array of word drivers and word switches to select one word line. Word current rise time is 2 to 3 nanoseconds. The 1-millivolt readout signal, 6 nanoseconds in duration, is amplified by means of a high-gain (1400), wide-band (50 Mc/s) sense amplifier with a differential input stage. Information is written into the memory with a bit driver which generates 40 milliampere current pulses of either polarity. Design considerations such as the ac coupling in the sense arnplifier, the relation between amplifier internal noise and system mean free time between errors, and the minimization of noise are discussed. A variety of transistor geometries was used to optimize the devices to the individual circuit functions. These geometries are illustrated. 相似文献

Novel Planar Electromagnetic Bandgap Structures for Mitigation of Switching Noise and EMI Reduction in High-Speed Circuits 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures with novel meandered lines and super cell configuration are proposed for mitigating simultaneous switching noise propagation in high-speed printed circuit boards. An ultrawide bandgap extending from 250 MHz to 12 GHz and beyond is demonstrated by both simulation and measurement, and a good agreement is observed. These perforated EBG-based power planes may cause spurious and unwanted radiation. In this paper, leakage radiation through these imperfect planes is carefully investigated. It is found that the leakage field from these planar EBG structures is highly concentrated around the feed point, and the field intensity is attenuated dramatically when passing across several periods of patches. A novel concept of using these EBG structures for electromagnetic interference reduction is also introduced. Finally, the impact of power plane with EBG-patterned structures on signal integrity is studied. 相似文献

In this paper we propose novel high-speed and low-power architecture for the context formation sub-block in tier-1 block of
JPEG2000 system. The proposed architecture is inspired from the statistical analysis results on 20 test images, each one 512*512
pixels, gray scale with 8 bit pixels. The proposed architecture incorporates a check unit to detect unnecessary operations
in both pass1 and pass2 of the EBCOT block. For code block size of 64*64 bits, the timing and power consumption analysis show
that the proposed architecture reduces the power consumption about 20.64% and increases the processing speed to about 33.67%
with respect to the speedy reference architecture. The proposed architecture has a processing speed close to the parallel
mode architectures with almost the same area for serial mode architectures and more power saving. The proposed architecture
gathers the basic advantages of the serial and parallel mode implementations in addition to lower power consumption.

Novel pumping schemes for fluoride-based thulium-doped fiber amplifier at 690 and 1050 nm (or 1400 nm) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Signal amplification in the S- and S/sup +/-band is demonstrated for the first time by simultaneous pumping of thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) with 690 and 1050 nm (or 1400 nm). Both pumping schemes are investigated and shown to be highly efficient: Roughly 20 dB of signal gain is available with only 80 mW of 1050 nm plus 42 mW of 690 nm, while signal input power is fixed at -35 dBm. Furthermore, these excitations can take advantage of low-cost readily available pump laser diodes at 690 nm for digital video disk applications. This makes TDFA a promising candidate for coarse wavelength-division-multiplexing applications in metropolitan area network and access network environment. 相似文献

A filter theory approach is used for the synthesis of very broad-band resistive terminations with no direct grounding. The immediate use is in microwave integrated circuits (MIC's) where no holes or wraparound straps are desirable. Bandwidths achieved amount to 100 and 160 percent for networks of order 2 and 6, respectively. The total circuit lengths are lambda and 3 lambda/2 in these cases. This performance is superior to older designs where only 30-40 percent is obtained. 相似文献

We studied morphology of GaAs surfaces and the transport properties of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) on vicinal (111)B
planes. Multi-atomic steps (MASs) are found on the vicinal (111)B facet grown by molecular beam epitaxy, which will affect
electron transport on the facet. We also studied how the morphology of GaAs epilayers on vicinal (111)B substrates depends
on growth conditions, especially on the As4 flux. The uniformity of MASs on the substrates have been improved and smooth surfaces were obtained when the GaAs was grown
with high As4 flux, providing step periodicity of 20 nm. The channel resistance of the 2DEG perpendicular to the MASs is reduced drastically
with this smooth morphology. These findings are valuable not only for fabricating quantum devices on the (111)B facets but
also those on the vicinal (111)B substrates. 相似文献

An advanced dielectric barrier proposed for sub-45 nm CMOS technology nodes is firstly characterized on 300 mm full sheet wafers. The barrier is a bi-layer deposited by PECVD. The copper diffusion barrier property is ensured by a depositing dense initiation layer with the efficiency of a standard SiCN barrier (k = 5.0). The top layer, thicker, with lower density, enables the decrease of the barrier k-value to 3.66 and plays the role of etch stop layer. Combined with a PECVD porous a-SiOC:H dielectric (k-value = 2.5), the advanced dielectric barrier is successfully integrated in a C65 dual damascene architecture reaching a 3% gain in RC. A high via chain resistance yield is evidence of good via opening. Finally, the advanced barrier shows the same electromigration performance than the standard SiCN barrier. 相似文献

This letter is aimed at experimentally investigating the fin width (Wfin) dependence of both a dopant-segregated Schottky-barrier (DSSB) and a conventional FinFET SONOS device with diffused p-n junctions for application of a NOR-type flash memory device. High parasitic resistance (Rpara) at the source/drain by a narrowed Wfin results in degradation of memory performance for the conventional FinFET SONOS device. In contrast, it is shown that a narrow Wfin significantly improves the memory performance for the DSSB FinFET SONOS device, resulting from an improved lateral electric field without a significant change of the Rpara value. 相似文献

Ultrathin gate oxide is essential for low supply voltage and high drive current for ULSI devices. The continuous scaling of oxide thickness has been a challenge on reliability characterization with conventional time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) technique. A new technique, the time-dependent dielectric wearout (TDDW), is proposed as a more practical and effective way to measure oxide reliability and breakdown compared to conventional TDDB methodology. The wearout of oxide is defined as the gate current reaches a critical current density with the circuit operating voltage level. It is shown that although a noisy soft breakdown always exists for ultrathin oxide, with constant-voltage stressing, a big runaway can also be observed for oxides down to 1.8 nm by monitoring the I–V characteristics at a reduced voltage. Devices are found still working after soft breakdowns, but no longer functional after the big runaway. However, by applying E-model to project dielectric lifetime, it shows that the dielectric lifetime is almost infinity for the thermal oxide at 1.8 nm range. It is also demonstrated that the dual voltage TDDW technique is also able to monitor the breakdown mechanism for nitride/oxide (N/O) dual layer dielectrics. 相似文献

Graphene oxide (GO) films can be readily prepared at wafer scale, then reduced to form graphene-based conductive circuits relevant to a range of practical device applications. Among a variety of reduction methods, laser processing has emerged as an important technique for localized reduction and patterning of GO films. In this study, the novel use of confocal microscopy is demonstrated for high-resolution characterization, in situ laser reduction, and versatile patterning of GO films. Multi-modal imaging and real-time tracking are performed with 405 and 488 nm lasers, enabling large-area direct observation of the reduction progress. Using image analysis to cluster flake types, the different stages of reduction can be attributed to thermal transfer and accumulation. Delicate control of the reduction process over multiple length scales is illustrated using millimeter-scale stitched patterns, micropatterning of single flakes, and direct writing conductive 2D wires with sub-micrometer resolution (530 nm). The general applicability of the technique is shown, allowing fabrication of both conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films (sheet resistance: 2.5 kOhm sq−1) and 3D microscale architectures. This simple and mask-free method provides a valuable tool for well-controlled and scalable fabrication of reduced GO structures using compact low-power lasers (< 5 mW), with simultaneous in situ monitoring and quality control. 相似文献

Conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):sulfonated polyimide (PEDOT: SPI) nanoscale thin films were successfully developed by addition of anionic surfactant and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for potential application in electronic devices. In this work, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant was introduced into PEDOT:SPI aqueous suspensions to improve the dispersion stability of the particles in water, leading to high transparency and low contact angle of PEDOT:SPI thin films. All of the conducting polymer thin films showed high transparency of more than 85% transmission. Conductivity enhancement and good film-formation properties of PEDOT:SPI were achieved by adding various amounts of PVA to each polymer aqueous suspension because of the resulting conformational changes. The highest conductivity of 0.134 S/cm was achieved at 0.08 wt.% PVA in PEDOT:SPI2/SDS/PVA film, increased by a factor of 3.5 compared with the original material. In addition, PVA also improved the thermal stability of the conductive films, as verified by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The interactions between conducting polymers, PVA, and SDS surfactant affecting nano-thin film properties were revealed and investigated. Moreover, the interactions between SDS and SPI were proven to be different from those between SDS and poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) in conventional PEDOT:PSS solutions. 相似文献

The evolution of transistor topology from planar to confined geometry transistors (i.e., FinFET, Nanowire FET, Nanosheet FET) has met the desired performance specification of sub-20 nm integrated circuits (ICs), but only at the expense of increased power density and thermal resistance. Thus, self-heating effect (SHE) has become a critical issue for performance/reliability of ICs. Indeed, temperature is one of the most important factors determining ICs reliability, such as Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI), Hot Carrier Injection (HCI), and Electromigration (EM). Therefore, an accurate SHE model is essential for predictive, reliability-aware ICs design. Although SHE is collectively determined by the thermal resistances/capacitances associated with various layers of an IC, most researchers focus on isolated components within the hierarchy (i.e., a single transistor, few specific circuit configurations, or specialized package type). This fragmented approach makes it difficult to verify the implications of SHE on performance and reliability of ICs based on confined geometry transistors. In this paper, we combine theoretical modeling and systematic transistor characterization to extract thermal parameters at the transistor level to demonstrate the importance of multi-time constant thermal circuits to predict the spatio-temporal SHE in modern sub-20 nm transistors. Based on the refined Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model Common Multi-Gate (BSIM-CMG) model, we examine SHE in typical digital circuits (e.g., ring oscillator) and analog circuits (e.g., two-stage operational amplifier) by Verilog-A based HSPICE simulation. Similarly, we develop a physics-based thermal compact model for packaged ICs using an effective media approximation for the Back End Of Line (BEOL) interconnects and ICs packaging. We integrate these components to investigate SHE behavior implication on ICs reliability and explain why one must adopt various (biomimetic) strategies to improve the lifetime of self-heated ICs. 相似文献
