摘要: Crosstalk between bitlines induces read failure and limits the coverage of applicable code-patterns for high-speed contact/via-programming read-only memories (ROMs) in SoC. Owing to the variation in bitline loading across code-patterns, the amount of coupled noise on an accessed bitline is code-pattern-dependent. This crosstalk effect worsens, with larger coupling capacitance and smaller intrinsic loading, as the technology node shrinks. This study proposes dynamic virtual guardian (DVG) techniques for contact/via-programming ROM macros and compilers to eliminate the crosstalk-induced read failure and increase the code-patterns coverage. Compared with conventional ROMs, DVG techniques achieve higher speed, lower power consumption and better design for manufacturing (DFM) capability with full code-patterns coverage. Experiments on fabricated designs, a conventional ROM and two 256 Kb DVG ROMs, using 0.18 mu m 1P5M CMOS technology have demonstrated that DVG techniques achieve 100% code-pattern coverage under a small sensing margin.
