Background technology
Component density within the integrated circuit can be utilized integrated circuit (IC) design (the reducedgeometry integrated circuit designs) principle in reduction space, increases the performance of integrated circuit and reduces its real cost.The modern integrated circuits memory device that comprises Flash, SRAM (static RAM), OUM, EEPROM, FRAM, MRAM etc. all is the obvious example that utilizes the principle of this poke unit (memory cell).Density in the integrated circuit memory devices increases just constantly, and what follow with it is the corresponding reduction of the unit carrying cost of this class device.The increase of density is to utilize to make small construction in device, and utilization reduces between the element or the compartment between the structure of composed component is finished.Usually, the design criteria of this class reduced size (design rules) can be attended by layout, and the correction of design and structure is when using the design criteria of this class reduced size, these are revised and change and will could realize by the size of reduction element, but also will keep device performance.As a kind of example, the reduction of its operating voltage among multiple existing integrated circuits is because such as the reduction gate oxide thicknesses, and promotes that error in little shadow programmed control just may finish.On the other hand, the design criteria of size reduction also make to reduce operating voltage and becomes necessity, so that if small-sized component is limited the hot carrier (hot carriers) that generation is understood by institute during with existing higher operation voltage operation.First generation SRAM module adopts large scale DIP encapsulation, and this encapsulation has certain height, because battery and RAM chip are stacked among the DIP encapsulation.The advantage of DIP encapsulation is that device can insert the DIP socket, the convenient replacement and storage, or transfer to another from a printed board.Though these advantages are still very useful so far, by contrast, more be necessary to develop surface mounting technology, and operating voltage is become 3.3V by 5V.Second generation SRAM module adopts two-piece type scheme---PowerCap module (PCM), promptly is made up of the pedestal that is welded direct to printed panel (comprising SRAM) and PowerCap (lithium battery just) two parts.Compare with the DIP module, this class device has two major advantages: they adopt surface mount, and have the standard pin configuration.In other words, the SRAM of much capacity no matter, its encapsulation is identical with number of pins.Therefore, the designer can strengthen system memory size, and need not worry to need to change the PCB layout.Battery altering gets up and also is easy to.The SRAM module that the third generation is just up-to-date, it has not only solved the existing problem of previous product, has increased greater functionality simultaneously.This class novel sram is a monolithic BGA module, built-in chargeable lithium cell.The same with PCM, all SRAM that adopt this packing forms are its amount of capacity no matter, and package dimension all is identical with pin configuration.This generic module adopts surface mount, and is monolithic device.Therefore design is firmer reliable, can bear stronger mechanical shock than the previous generation device.Because battery is chargeable, so the notion of data holding time has had other one deck implication.Describe more appropriately with equivalence speech in serviceable life one, the equivalence of this class device serviceable life can be up to 200 years.In addition, this module can bear+230 ℃ Reflow Soldering temperature, and the Lead-free in Electronic Packaging device that provides can bear+and 260 ℃ temperature.
Cellar area and cell stability are two importances of SRAM design.Cellar area has determined the size of memory chip to a great extent; Cell stability has determined the data reliability of storer, and stability described here comprises and reads stability and write stability.The main flow cellular construction of SRAM comprises 6 MOS transistor, and its formation can be the whole CMOS planar structure, also can be the laminated type three-dimensional structure.Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the structural representation of six transistorized SRAM in the prior art, among the figure, described SRAM is made of six transistors, in described six transistors, comprise that four NMOS pipe N1, N2, N3, N4 and two PMOS manage P1 and P2, wherein a PMOS pipe P1, NMOS pipe N1 and the 2nd PMOS pipe P2, the 2nd NMOS manage two COMS phase inverters of N2 composition, and cross-couplings forms trigger flip-flop; Gate tube the 3rd NMOS pipe N3, the 4th NMOS pipe N4 provides the approach and the control of data input and output; BL among the figure,

Be the bit line control signal, WL is the word line of this unit, in read operation, when V1 voltage increases, just may cause the change of current lock-out state.And after the CMOS technology enters sub-micro; the bad stability of D S RAM; especially the bad stability of reading state; its main cause is that 2 PMOS load pipes are to be made by non-aligned back of the body grid technique technology; when the stored data of the same block in the storer is repeatedly read; the reading times between 100,000 to 1,000,000 times for example; probably the data that can take place to be read is wrong, even this data that is repeatedly read in the block to be stored can take place unusual or loses.And this type of phenomenon has with field of the present invention and knows that usually the knowledgeable is used to be called " reading interference " (read-disturb), also because of there being such phenomenon to exist, order about each tame manufacturer invariably and must develop the technology that to prevent to read interference, so as to suppressing to read the interference odds effectively.Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the structural representation of improved static RAM in the prior art, SRAM among Fig. 2 has increased by two NMOS pipe N6 and N7 than SRAM among Fig. 1, in the time will reading to the data that the block in the storage period is stored, will use two NMOS pipes of extra increase, thereby avoid in process of reading, producing and read interference, the accuracy that assurance is read, yet the shortcoming of SRAM is that integrated level is low originally, and power consumption is bigger, identical content volume is bigger, increase by two NMOS pipes, will certainly increase the volume of SRAM to a great extent, be unfavorable for improving the service efficiency of SRAM.
