摘要： Techniques of sensing a temperature of a heat source disposed in a substrate of an integrated circuit are provided. According to one exemplary method, a Magnetic Tunnel Junction (“MTJ”) temperature sensor is provided over the heat source. The MTJ temperature sensor comprises an MTJ core configured to output a current during operation thereof. The value of the current varies based on a resistance value of the particular MTJ core. The resistance value of the MTJ core varies as a function of the temperature of the heat source. A value of the current of the MTJ core can then be associated with a corresponding temperature of the heat source.

摘要： An integrated circuit device (300) comprises a substrate (301) and MRAM architecture (314) formed on the substrate (308). The MRAM architecture (314) includes a MRAM circuit (318) formed on the substrate (301); and a MRAM cell (316) coupled to and formed above the MRAM circuit (318). Additionally a passive device (320) is formed in conjunction with the MRAM cell (316). The passive device (320) can be one or more resistors and one or more capacitor. The concurrent fabrication of the MRAM architecture (314) and the passive device (320) facilitates an efficient and cost effective use of the physical space available over active circuit blocks of the substrate (404, 504), resulting in three-dimensional integration.

The fabrication process technology is a modular process having a front end process and a back end process. In the example embodiment, the smart power architecture includes a power circuit component, a digital logic component, and an analog control component formed by the front end process, and a sensor architecture formed by the back end process. The MRAM architecture includes an MRAM circuit component formed by the front end process and an MRAM cell array formed by the back end process. In one practical embodiment, the sensor architecture includes a sensor component that is formed from the same magnetic tunnel junction core material utilized by the MRAM cell array.

摘要： An integrated circuit device includes a magnetic random access memory (“MRAM”) architecture and at least one inductance element formed on the same substrate using the same fabrication process technology. The inductance element, which may be an inductor or a transformer, is formed at the same metal layer (or layers) as the program lines of the MRAM architecture. Any available metal layer in addition to the program line layers can be added to the inductance element to enhance its efficiency. The concurrent fabrication of the MRAM architecture and the inductance element facilitates an efficient and cost effective use of the physical space available over active circuit blocks of the substrate, resulting in three-dimensional integration.

摘要： A memory device, such an MRAM device, includes self-healing reference bits (104) associated with a set of array bits (102). The memory performs an error detection step (e.g., using an error-correction coding (ECC) algorithm, to detect the presence of a set of errors within the data bits. One of the reference bits (104) is toggled to a different state if an error count is greater than a predetermined threshold. If the set of errors remains unchanged when subsequently read, the reference bit (104) is toggled back to its original state.

摘要： A magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) has separate read and write paths. This reduces the peripheral circuitry by not requiring switching between read and write functions on a particular line. By having the paths dedicated to either read signals or write signals, the voltage levels can be optimized for these functions. The select transistors, which are part of only the read function, may be of the low-voltage type because they do not have to receive the relatively higher voltages of the write circuitry. Similarly, the write voltages do not have to be degraded to accommodate the lower-voltage type transistors. The size of the overall memory is kept efficiently small while improving performance. The memory cells are grouped so that adjacent to groups are coupled to a common global bit line which reduces the space required for providing the capacitance-reducing group approach to memory cell selection.
