摘要： An IC with memory cells arranged in groups is described. The memory cells, for example, are ferroelectric memory cells. The IC includes a variable voltage generator (VVG) for generating an output voltage having a different voltage level depending on a location of an addressed memory cell within the memory group is provided. By providing different voltage levels for reads and/or writes, signal loss caused by capacitances which is dependent on the location of the memory cell within the group can be avoided. This improves read and/or write operations in series memory architectures.

摘要： A memory cell signal window testing apparatus 101 and method for testing the signal window of a memory are disclosed. First data is written to a memory cell during a write cycle. A low cell signal is read from the memory cell during a first read cycle. A comparison is made between the low signal and a low reference signal. The result of the comparison is stored in a first storage register. Second data is then written to the memory cell during a write cycle. A high cell signal is read from the memory cell during a second read cycle. A comparison is made between the high cell signal and a high reference signal. The result of the comparison is stored in a second storage register. The results in the first and second storage registers are compared and an output is provided indicating that the memory cell has failed the test if the comparison shows that both the low cell signal is higher than the low reference signal and the high cell signal is lower than the high reference signal.

摘要： A semiconductor memory comprises a first capacitor for storing digital data connecting a cell plate line to a first bit-line through a first select transistor. The first select transistor is activated through a connection to a word line. At least one reference capacitor provides a reference voltage to a reference bit-line. A sense amplifier connected to the first and reference bit-lines measures a differential read signal on the first and reference bit-lines. A toggle flip flop alternately changes the polarization of charge stored on the reference capacitors.

A semiconductor memory test mode configuration includes a first capacitor for storing digital data connecting a cell plate line to a first bit line through a first select transistor. The first select transistor is activated through a connection to a word line. A second capacitor stores digital data and connects the cell plate line to a second bit line through a second select transistor. The second select transistor is activated through a connection to the word line. A sense amplifier is connected to the first and second bit lines for measuring a differential read signal on the first and second bit lines A resistor is connected to one or both of the bit lines through transistors for adding or reducing the amount of charge on the first bit line when the third transistor is turned on to reduce the differential read signal.

摘要： Memory reliability is improved by using redundancy to repair errors detected by ECC. In one embodiment, redundancy repairs errors which cannot be corrected by ECC. The redundancy can employ the use of electronic fuses, enabling repairs after an IC containing the memory is packaged. Redundancy can also be performed prior to packaging of the IC.

摘要： A test circuit for testing differential read signals during a memory access is disclosed. The test circuit is coupled to a pair of bit lines. During a read access, a selected memory cell produces a differential read signal on the bit lines. When the test circuit is activated, the magnitude of the differential read signal is varied. This enables easy testing of read signal margins in, for example, memory ICs.

The improved cell design facilitates the formation of capacitors using a single etch process instead of two, as conventionally required.

In another embodiment, a large plug with sufficient overlap to the bottom electrodes of pair of capacitors is used.
