    摘要: An integrated memory cube structure and method of fabrication wherein stacked semiconductor memory chips are integrated by a controlling logic chip such that a more powerful memory architecture is defined with the functional appearance of a single, higher level memory chip. A memory/logic cube is formed having N memory chips and at least one logic chip, with each memory chip of the cube having M memory devices. The controlling logic chip coordinates external communication with the N memory chips such that a single memory chip architecture with N.times.M memory devices appears at the cube's I/O pins. A corresponding fabrication technique includes an approach for facilitating metallization patterning on the side surface of the memory subunit.

    摘要: A read only memory array of stacked IGFET devices composed of first and second sub-arrays of field effect transistors. The first sub-array of first field effect transistors is formed in a substrate. Each of the first field effect transistor devices is responsive to a polysilicon gate electrode. The second sub-array of second field effect transistors is formed in a layer of laser annealed polysilicon material which overlies the first sub-array. The gate electrodes of the first field effect transistors act as the gate electrodes of the second field effect transistors.

    摘要: Wafer test and burn-in is accomplished with state machine or programmable test engines located on the wafer being tested. Each test engine requires less than 10 connections and each test engine can be connected to a plurality of chips, such as a row or a column of chips on the wafer. Thus, the number of pads of the wafer that must be connected for test is substantially reduced while a large degree of parallel testing is still provided. The test engines also permit on-wafer allocation of redundancy in parallel so that failing chips can be repaired after burn-in is complete. In addition, the programmable test engines can have their code altered so test programs can be modified to account for new information after the wafer has been fabricated. The test engines are used during burn-in to provide high frequency write signals to DRAM arrays that provide a higher effective voltage to the arrays, lowering the time required for burn-in. Connections to the wafer and between test engines and chips are provided along a membrane attached to the wafer. Membrane connectors can be formed or opened after the membrane is connected to the wafer so shorted chips can be disconnected. Preferably the membrane remains on the wafer after test, burn-in and dicing to provide a chip scale package. Thus, the very high cost of TCE matched materials, such as glass ceramic contactors, for wafer burn-in is avoided while providing benefit beyond test and burn-in for packaging.

    摘要: An off-chip driver circuit including an enhancement PFET, a depletion PFET, a depletion NFET and an enhancement NFET connected in series. The large enhancement PFET and large enhancement NFET turn off the OCD in tri-state and to turn off the unused half of the OCD to prevent overlap current when driving a ‘0’ or a ‘1’. A first gate signal is applied to the gate of the enhancement PFET and a second gate signal is applied to the enhancement NFET. A fixed voltage is connected to the gate of the depletion NFET and ground to gate of the depletion PFET. An output signal is obtained from a node between the depletion PFET and depletion NFET devices. In another embodiment, a reflection/overshoot sensor 60 is added. The output of sensor is connected to the body of a depletion PFET and an NFET. The feedback from sensor is such that the threshold voltage of the depletion devices are made more positive if the sensor detects that the output is being over-driven. A more positive threshold voltage will reduce the driver's IDS, but leaves the device in the linear mode.
