Effective Spare Line Allocation Built-in Redundancy Analysis With Base Common Spare for Yield Improvement of 3D Memory

Built-in redundancy analysis for memory yield improvement

With the advance of VLSI technology, the capacity and density of memories is rapidly growing. The yield improvement and testing issues have become the most critical challenges for memory manufacturing. Conventionally, redundancies are applied so that the faulty cells can be repairable. Redundancy analysis using external memory testers is becoming inefficient as the chip density continues to gro...

Rram Spare Allocation

RRAM (Redundant Random Access Memory) is a RAM with redundant spares included in the chip. Because of the row/column organization of memory cells in RAMs, these spares are organized as rows and columns. Memory cells which are faulty can be repaired by the spare rows, spare columns and their combinations. Because additional cost of incorporating spares and repairing, it is usually advantageous t...

Spare Capacity Allocation : Model , Analysis and Algorithm

Fault and the allocation of spare organs.

This paper argues that rectificatory justice should supplement distributive justice in allocating priority of access to scarce medical resources. Where a patient is at fault for the scarcity of healthy organs a principle of restitution requires that she should give priority to the faultless. Such restitution is non-punitive, and is akin to reparation in civil law, not criminal law. However, it ...

Self-Repairing Algorithm with Shared Spare Allocation for Reconfigurable Systems

Self–repairing digital systems have received increased attention as the modern systems are becoming more complex and fast. For systems operating in harsh and/or hostile environments even a single failure event can result in huge loss and disastrous effects. Availability of a system can be increased by making it capable of detecting and recovering from faults, i.e. make it fault tolerant. In thi...
