    摘要: A static random-access memory is described. The SRAM includes a storage cell and a voltage supply to supply the storage cell with a reduced voltage during a write operation. The SRAM cell includes a first pass gate and a second pass gate. A first resistor is coupled between the first pass gate and a first side of the storage cell. A second resistor is coupled between the second pass gate and a second side of the storage cell.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein include forksheet transistor devices with depopulated channels. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a backbone. A first transistor device includes a first vertical stack of semiconductor channels adjacent to a first edge of the backbone. The first vertical stack of semiconductor channels includes first semiconductor channels and a second semiconductor channel over or beneath the first semiconductor channels. A concentration of a dopant in the first semiconductor channels is less than a concentration of the dopant in the second semiconductor channel. A second transistor device includes a second vertical stack of semiconductor channels adjacent to a second edge of the backbone opposite the first edge.

    摘要: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems related to an assist circuit that may be coupled to one or more components of a memory system to selectively lower a supply voltage that is delivered to the component. For example, the assist circuit may be coupled to a plurality of bitcells (e.g., register file bitcells). The assist circuit may selectively lower the supply voltage delivered to the bitcells during at least a portion of a write operation and/or during an inactive state of the bitcells. Additionally, or alternatively, the assist circuit may be coupled to a read circuit to selectively lower the supply voltage delivered to the read circuit during an inactive state of the read circuit. The assist circuit may include a control transistor coupled in parallel with one or more diodes between a main supply rail and a supply node of the bitcells and/or read circuit.
