9780130084651: Fault-Tolerance and Reliability Techniques for High-Density Random-Access Memories

Synopsis

This book deals with primarily with reliable and faul-tolerant circuit design and evaluation techniques for RAMS. It examines both the manufacturing faul-tolerance (e.g. self-repair at the time of manufacturing) and online and field-related fault-tolerance (e.g. error-correction). It talks a lot about important techniques and requirements, and explains what needs to be done and why for each of the techniques.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The state of the art in fault-tolerant RAM development and production.

  • Embedded RAM for SoC design: practical circuit and layout design principles and techniques
  • State-of-the-art manufacturing, online, and field-related fault tolerance
  • Structured custom design solutions for self-testable/self-repairable embedded RAMs
  • Includes extensive illustrations and examples, plus a compendium of 500+ research papers

Next-generation electronic devices require advanced new nanofabrication CMOS technologies―and, in these environments, today's processing techniques simply will not produce adequate yields. To improve RAM reliability without compromising performance, cost, or space requirements, engineers are turning to advanced fault-tolerant techniques. In this book, Kanad Chakraborty and Pinaki Mazumder survey the latest research and field-proven techniques for every form of memory fault tolerance, including manufacturing, online, and field-related fault tolerance. Coverage includes:

  • Embedded RAM for SoC design: practical circuit and layout design principles and techniques
  • New research into the mechanisms underlying soft and hard failures
  • Understanding the impact of scaling on reliability
  • Modeling and analysis of manufacturing yield
  • Manufacturing fault tolerance: built-in self-diagnosis and repair, reconfiguration, repair via EEPROM switches, flexible redundancy, and more
  • Techniques for mitigating radiation-induced single-event effects
  • Field fault tolerance: error correcting codes and associated circuit techniques
  • Structured custom design solutions for self-testable and self-repairable embedded RAMs: circuit and physical design

Chakraborty and Mazumder focus on practical circuit and design solutions, presenting extensive illustrations and explaining device physics and circuit design theory in a reader-friendly manner. They also provide a compendium of more than 500 research papers on memory fault tolerance and reliability. Whether you're a design engineer, test engineer, manufacturer, or researcher, this is a comprehensive resource for building next-generation RAM with next-generation reliability.
