  • Patent number: 11355182
    Abstract: A method of screening complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor CMOS integrated circuits, such as integrated circuits including CMOS static random access memory (SRAM) cells, for transistors susceptible to transistor characteristic shifts over operating time. For the example of SRAM cells formed of cross-coupled CMOS inverters, separate ground voltage levels can be applied to the source nodes of the driver transistors, or separate power supply voltage levels can be applied to the source nodes of the load transistors (or both). Asymmetric bias voltages applied to the transistors in this manner will reduce the transistor drive current, and can thus mimic the effects of bias temperature instability (BTI). Cells that are vulnerable to threshold voltage shift over time can thus be identified.

  • Patent number: 9208832
    Abstract: A method of testing large-scale integrated circuits including multiple instances of memory arrays, and an integrated circuit structure for assisting such testing. In one embodiment, voltage drops due to parasitic resistance in array bias conductors are determined by extracting layout parameters, and subsequent circuit simulation that derives the voltage drops in those conductors during operation of each memory array. In another embodiment, sense lines from each memory array are selectively connected to a test sense terminal of the integrated circuit, at which the array bias voltage at each memory array is externally measured. Feedback control of the applied voltage to arrive at the desired array bias voltage can be performed.
