Patent number: 11996163Abstract: A circuit includes a memory cell column coupled to a bit line pair and a write circuit that alternately biases a first end of the bit lines toward power supply and reference voltage levels in a write operation. Each of first and second switching circuits at second ends of the bit lines includes first and second logic circuits, each including an input terminal coupled to a corresponding bit line, and first and second switching devices, each including a gate coupled to the corresponding logic circuit. The first logic circuit and switching device couple the corresponding bit line to a power supply node simultaneously with the write circuit biasing the corresponding bit line toward the power supply voltage level, and the second logic circuit and switching device couple the corresponding bit line to a reference node simultaneously with the write circuit biasing the corresponding bit line toward the reference voltage level.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Shang-Chi Wu, Yangsyu Lin, Chiting Cheng, Jonathan Tsung-Yung Chang, Mahmut Sinangil

Patent number: 11940483Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for high-speed I/O margin testing can screen high volumes of pre-production and production parts and identify cases where the electrical characteristics have changed enough to impact operation. The margin tester disclosed is lower cost, easier to use and faster than traditional BERT and scopes and can operate on the full multi-lane I/O links in their standard operating states with full loading and cross-talk. The margin tester assesses the electrical receiver margin of an operation multi-lane high speed I/O link with a device under test simultaneously in either or both directions. In a technology-specific form, an embodiment of the margin tester can be implemented as an add-in card margin tester to test motherboard slots of a mother board under test, or as a as a motherboard with slots to test add-in cards.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Tektronix, Inc.Inventors: Sam J.

Publication number: 20220359758Abstract: Transistors with metal oxide channel material and a multi-composition gate dielectric. A surface of a metal oxide gate dielectric may be nitrided before deposition of a metal oxide channel material, for example to reduce gate capacitance of a TFT. Breakdown voltage and/or drive current of a TFT can be increased through the introduction of an additional metal oxide and/or nitride between the gate electrode and a metal oxide gate dielectric. The introduction of an intervening layer between two layers of a metal oxide gate dielectric can also increase breakdown voltage and/or drive current of a TFT.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2021Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Shailesh Kumar Madisetti, Chieh-Jen Ku, Wen-Chiang Hong, Pei-Hua Wang, Cheng Tan, Harish Ganapathy, Bernhard Sell, Lin-Yung Wang
