Title
Utilising the normal distribution of the write noise margin to easily predict the SRAM write yield.
Abstract
This study describes a method to easily predict the write yield of a static random access memory (SRAM) memory cell. The differential coefficient of the combined word line margin (CWLM) for the threshold voltage (Vth) is analysed using the simple Schockley's transistor model. The analysis shows the good linearity comes from keeping the access transistor operating in the saturation mode for a wide ...
