    摘要: A semiconductor device is formed as part of an integrated circuit. The semiconductor device, which is formed in an active semiconductor layer, is surrounded by a guardian that provides a diffusion barrier against contaminants and also provides assistance in avoiding dishing above the semiconductor device during chemical mechanical polishing. The dielectric that is above the semiconductor device and inside the guardian is etched to form an opening that receives one of an optical fiber, an electromagnetic signal source, or an electromagnetic signal load. The remaining dielectric is in layers that are of substantially uniform thickness. The guardian is built up in layers that are part of a normal integrated circuit process. These include contact layers, via layers, and interconnect layers.

    摘要: A static random access memory (SRAM) can include a plurality of columns forming a memory array, wherein each column comprises a plurality of memory cells coupled to bitlines and wordlines, and a write replica circuit generating a signal when data has been written to the write replica circuit. A wordline of the memory array is turned off responsive to the signal. The write replica circuit can include an additional column comprising at least one dual port dummy memory cell, and write detection circuitry coupled to the dual port dummy memory cell detecting when data has been written to the dual port dummy memory cell and responsively generating the signal. The signal generated by the write detection circuitry indicates a successful write operation to the dual port dummy memory cell.

    摘要: This invention provides a memory array and its peripheral circuit with byte-erase capability. The advantage of this invention is the ability to access bytes for program, erase, and read operations. This invention allows this access with the addition of one word line switch and one source line switch for each byte to be accessed for program, erase, and read operations. Also, this invention utilizes a new bias condition to lessen the voltage stress on the high voltage device. In addition, this invention utilizes separate and dedicated power supplies for the local word line driver circuits and for the local source line driver circuits. This is coupled with the partitioning of the main memory array into sub-arrays of 8 columns. This allows the placing of high voltage only on the selected 8 column (byte) subarray. This also substantially lessens the voltage stress on the memory cells and enhances long-term reliability.
