摘要:
Methods of setting wordline up-level voltage in as-fabricated SRAM. In one example, the method includes determining the relative speed, or strength, of 1) the combination of the pass-gate and pull-down devices and 2) the pull-up devices in the bitcells of the SRAM. These relative strengths are then used to adjust the wordline up-level voltage, if needed, to decrease the likelihood of the SRAM experiencing a stability failure. Corresponding systems are provided for determining the relative strengths of the devices of interest, for determining the amount of up-level voltage adjustment needed, and for selecting and setting the up-level voltage.
