摘要:
The invention provides a simple interface circuit between a large capacity, high speed DRAM and a single port SRAM cache to achieve fast-cycle memory performance. The interface circuit provides wider bandwidth internal communications than external data transfers. The interface circuit schedules parallel pipeline operations so that one set of data buses can be shared in cycles by several data flows to save chip area and alleviate data congestion. A flexible design is provided that can be used for a range of bandwidths of data transfer and generally any size bandwidth ranging from 32 to 4096 bits wide can use this same approach.

A structure and method of forming a fully planarized polymer thin-film transistor by using a first planar carrier to process a first portion of the device including gate, source, drain and body elements. Preferably, the thin-film transistor is made with all organic materials. The gate dielectric can be a high-k polymer to boost the device performance. Then, the partially-finished device structures are flipped upside-down and transferred to a second planar carrier. A layer of wax or photo-sensitive organic material is then applied, and can be used as the temporary glue. The device, including its body area, is then defined by an etching process. Contacts to the devices are formed by conductive material deposition and chemical-mechanical polish.

A fuse latch array system for an embedded DRAM (eDRAM) having a micro-cell architecture, a wide data bandwidth and wide internal bus width is disclosed for locatizing all the fuse information for redundancy replacement purposes. The fuse latch array system includes a fuse latch array having a plurality of memory cells where fuse information is scanned therein sequentially or parallel, or a combination thereof to be compatible with conventional fuse latch scanning protocols, during power-on. When the fuse information is stored in the fuse latch array, it is accessed as a page during a page mode operation. The accessed page contains column redundancy information corresponding to the active bank. The fuse latch array is decoded by row and column, so that the memory cell corresponding to the active bank can be easily located, even if there are thousands of banks within the eDRAM. Once the memory cell corresponding to the active bank is located, the column redundancy information is retrieved for use in identifying the defective column of the active bank using a redundant decoder. If more than one group of datalines are provided for repair, multiple parallel decoding is utilized to locate multiple defective columns simultaneously and replace them simultaneously during a redundancy operation using a conventional multiplexer circuit. The page mode operation of the fuse latch array system ensures the redundancy operation is performed within one clock cycle.
摘要:
A method and structure for producing metallic polymer conductor lines comprising of an alternative methodology to a traditional damascene approach, called a cloisonne or inverse damascene approach. The cloisonne approach comprises the steps of coating a photosensitive polymer such as pyrrole or aniline with a silver salt on a semiconductor substrate. Using standard photolithography and resist developing techniques, the conducting polymer is exposed to a wet chemical developer, removing a portion of the exposed conducting polymer region, leaving only conducting polymer lines on top of the substrate. Next, an insulating dielectric layer is deposited over the entire structure and a chemical mechanical polish planarization of the insulator is performed creating the conducting polymer lines. Included in another aspect of the invention is a method and structure for a self-planarizing interconnect material comprising a conductive polymer thereby reducing the number of processing steps relative to the prior art.
