摘要： The speed of memories is increased by trading memory density (or area) for speed (or cycle time). An n by n memory array is used to reduce the memory cycle time by 1/n. For example, if an existing memory cycle time is 6 ns, in order to achieve a 3ns (or n=2) cycle time, a 2 by 2 memory array is used. Or, in order to achieve a 1ns cycle time (or n=6), then a 6 by 6 memory array is used.

摘要： An integrated redundancy eDRAM architecture system for an embedded DRAM macro system having a wide data bandwidth and wide internal bus width is disclosed which provides column and row redundancy for defective columns and rows of the eDRAM macro system. Internally generated column and row addresses of defective columns and rows of each micro-cell block are stored in a memory device, such as a fuse bank, during an eDRAM macro test mode in order for the information to be quickly retrieved during each cycle of eDRAM operation to provide an SRAM-like operation. A column steering circuit steers column redundant elements to replace defective column elements. Redundancy information is either supplied from a SRAM fuse data storage device or from a TAG memory device depending on whether a read or write operation, respectively, is being performed. The integrated redundancy eDRAM architecture system enables data to be sent and received to and from the eDRAM macro system without adding any extra delay to the data flow, thereby protecting data flow pattern integrity.

摘要： An ultra high-speed DDP-SRAM (Dual Dual-Port Static Random Access Memory) cache having a cache speed in approximately the GHz range. This is accomplished by (1) a specially designed dual-port SRAM whose size is slightly larger than that of a conventional single port SRAM, and (2) the use of a dual dual-port SRAM architecture which doubles its speed by interleaved read and write operations. A first embodiment provides a 6-T (transistor) all nMOS dual-port SRAM cell. A second embodiment provides a dual port 7T-SRAM cell which has only one port for write, and both ports for read.

摘要： A memory array architecture employs a full Vdd bitline precharged voltage and a low wordline boost voltage, which is less than Vdd plus the threshold voltage of the access transistor. In a write mode, a first low level of a data bit is almost fully written to a storage element, however a second high level of the data bit is not fully written to the storage element. In a read mode, the first low level of the data bit is fully read out from the storage element, however the second high level of the data bit is not read out by utilizing the access transistor threshold voltage. This allows a sensing signal only with the first voltage level transfer to the Vdd precharged BL. A reference WL is preferably used for generating a reference bitline voltage for a differential Vdd sensing scheme. Alternatively, a single BL digital sensing scheme may be used. Lowering the wordline voltage results in a reduction in power consumption by saving power on Vpp generator and support circuits, and a reduction in the size of the Vpp generator and support circuits, and also eliminates high Vpp voltage related problems such as dielectric breakdown and other reliability concerns while avoiding a complex decoding scheme and saving cost.
摘要翻译：存储器阵列架构采用全Vdd位线预充电电压和低字线升压电压，其小于Vdd加上存取晶体管的阈值电压。在写入模式中，数据位的第一低电平几乎完全写入存储元件，然而数据位的第二高电平未完全写入存储元件。在读取模式下，数据位的第一低电平从存储元件完全读出，然而数据位的第二高电平不通过利用存取晶体管阈值电压被读出。这允许感测信号仅在第一电压电平传输到Vdd预充电BL。参考WL优选地用于产生用于差分Vdd感测方案的参考位线电压。或者，可以使用单个BL数字感测方案。降低字线电压通过节省Vpp发生器和支持电路上的功率以及减小Vpp发生器和支持电路的尺寸而降低功耗，并且消除了与Vpp电压相关的高电压问题，例如介质击穿和其他可靠性同时避免复杂的解码方案并节省成本。

摘要： A short cycle DRAM use a floating wordline, dynamic row decoder and bitline VDD precharge, which improves the array efficiency of the short cycle DRAM (3-6 ns) without compromising its performance. A small size wordline driver circuit is provided to reduce the row size of the short cycle DRAM without compromising row access timing. A dynamic decoding operation is implemented which intentionally allows some of the deselected wordlines to float during row access. A Vdd bitline precharge/sensing technique avoids a detrimental (or positive) coupling effect to the floating wordlines during row accessing. A Vdd data-line (or DQ) precharge for a read operation, and control of incoming data timing avoids a detrimental (or positive) coupling effect for a write operation.

摘要： Thermal cooling structures of diamond or diamond-like materials are provided for conducting heat away from semiconductor devices. A first silicon-on-insulator embodiment comprises a plurality of thermal paths, formed after shallow trench and device fabrication steps are completed, which extend through the buried oxide and provide heat dissipation through to the underlying bulk silicon substrate. The thermal conduction path material is preferably diamond which has high thermal conductivity with low electrical conductivity. A second diamond trench cooling structure, formed after device fabrication has been completed, comprises diamond shallow trenches disposed between the devices and extending through the buried oxide layer. An alternative diamond thermal cooling structure includes a diamond insulation layer deposited over the semiconductor devices in either an SOI or bulk silicon structure. Yet another embodiment comprises diamond sidewalls formed along the device walls in thermal contact with the device junctions to provide heat dissipation through the device junctions to underlying cooling structures. It is also proposed that the foregoing structures, and combinations of the foregoing structures, could be used in conjunction with other known cooling schemes.
