Understanding Reliability Trade-Offs in 1T-nC and 2T-nC FeRAM Designs

Understanding Reliability Trade-Offs in 1T-nC and 2T-nC FeRAM Designs 150 150

Abstract:

Ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) is a promising candidate for energy-efficient nonvolatile memory, particularly for logic-in-memory and compute-in-memory (CIM) applications. Among the available cell architectures, One-Transistor–n-Capacitor (1T-nC) and two-transistor–n-capacitor (2T-nC) FeRAMs each offer distinct trade-offs in density, scalability, and reliability. In this work, we present a comparative study …

Design and Verification of Low Parasitic MOS Capacitors With Series Connected Tri-Well Junctions

Design and Verification of Low Parasitic MOS Capacitors With Series Connected Tri-Well Junctions 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a tri-well implementation of MOS capacitors designed to tackle the challenge of high parasitic capacitance. By serially connecting the three parasitic well junction capacitors between the three wells (N-Well, deep P-Well, and deep N-Well) and substrate (PSUB), the parasitic capacitance can be significantly decreased. A higher bias …

A 2 pA/ √Hz Input-Referred Noise TIA in 180-nm CMOS With 2.5GHz Bandwidth for Optical Receiver

A 2 pA/ √Hz Input-Referred Noise TIA in 180-nm CMOS With 2.5GHz Bandwidth for Optical Receiver 150 150

Abstract:

This letter describes an ultra-low-noise, high-speed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) applied to the analog front-end (AFE) circuit of the high-sensitivity optical receiver. A combination of a three-stage amplifier and two positive feedback Miller capacitors is introduced to comprehensively reduce the input-referred noise current (IRNC) of a shunt-feedback TIA (SFTIA) and to …
