    摘要: An apparatus and method for manufacturing low-cost high-density compact active inductor module using existing DRAM, SRAM and logic process integration. The elements of the active inductor modules are formed by three semiconductor devices including nMOS devices, deep-trench capacitors and a polysilicon or TaN resistor. The active inductor modules can be connected in a parallel and/or serial configuration to obtain a wide range of inductance values. The modular active inductors can be advantageously stored in an ASIC library to facilitate a flexible and convenient circuit design.

    摘要: A design structure for an impedance matcher that automatically matches impedance between a driver and a receiver. The design structure for an impedance matcher includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit that locks onto a data signal provided by the driver. The impedance matcher also includes tunable impedance matching circuitry responsive to one or more voltage-controlled oscillator control signals within the PLL circuit so as to generate an output signal that is impedance matched with the receiver.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling electro-migration, and reducing the deleterious effects thereof, are disclosed. Embodiments provide for reversal of an applied voltage to an integrated circuit when a measurement indicative of an extent of electro-migration indicates that a healing cycle of operation is warranted. During the healing cycle, circuits of the integrated circuit function normally, but electro-migration effects are reversed. In one embodiment, micro-electro-mechanical switches are provided at a lowest level of metallization to switch the direction of current through the levels of metallization of the integrated circuit. In another embodiment, if the measurement indicative of the extent of electro-migration exceeds a reference level by a specifiable amount, then the voltage applied to the integrated circuit is reversed in polarity to cause current to switch directions to counter electro-migration. A plurality of switches are provided to switch current directions through a lowest level of metallization so that the circuits function normally even though the polarity of the applied voltage has been reversed.

    摘要: A column redundancy system including a column redundancy apparatus for performing a redundancy swapping operation of column elements within the individual micro-cells. The column redundancy apparatus further includes a fuse information storage device, a first bank address decoding mechanism decodes a read bank address corresponding to a first micro-cell accessed for a read operation, and a second bank address decoding mechanism decodes a write bank address corresponding to a second micro-cell accessed for a write operation. If there is at least one defective column element contained within the first micro-cell, then the column redundancy apparatus generates an internal column address corresponding to the at least one defective column element in the first micro-cell. Likewise, if there is at least one defective column element contained within the second micro-cell, then the column redundancy apparatus generates an internal column address corresponding to the at least one defective column element in the second micro-cell.
