چکیده
This work reports on a heterogeneous integration of resistive memories into the Back-End-of-the-Line of 180 nm standard CMOS foundry chips. A TaOx-based ReRAM technology with materials and processes fully CMOS compatible has been developed and characterized. A low-cost integration method is applied to the developed TaOx-based memories to achieve chip level ReRAM–CMOS integration. The integrated memory devices show working voltages compatible with CMOS circuits operations. Measured SET and RESET voltages of the ReRAM integrated cells are 1 V and +1.3 V, respectively, demonstrating suitability for low-voltage applications. 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The total power budget of Ultra-Low Power (ULP) VLSI Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) is often dominated by the leakage power of embedded memories and pipeline registers, which typically cannot be power-gated during sleep periods as they need to retain data and program state, respectively. On the one hand, supply voltage scaling down to the near-threshold (near-VT) or even to the sub-threshold (sub-VT) d...

In this work, the design and analysis of new Level Shifter with Gate Driver for Li-Ion battery charger is proposed for high speed and low area in 180nm CMOS technology. The new proposed level shifter is used to raise the voltage level and significantly reduces transfer delay 1.3ns (transfer delay of conventional level shifter) to 0.15ns with the same input signal. Also, the level shifter with g...
