| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to provide a new design methodology enabling to detect and reduce the spatial/temporal random variations of the threshold voltage in the field after shipment. This study focuses on :(1) concept design for a feasibility study on detection and reduction of the Vt temporally dynamic shift due to Random Telegraph Noise(RTN) (2) physical modeling for the simulation for a feasibility study, and (3) control of offset potential of the terminals of SRAM cell. It has been demonstrated for the first time that the amount of the SRAM overall margin modulation due to the RTN would become unprecedented level and could no longer ignore in the screening design when the tail length of the distribution of the Vt variation for the RTN would exceed that for the random dopant fluctuation (RDF).
