    摘要: Tri-level-cell dynamic random access memory (DRAM) stores 3 levels of voltage (0, VDD/2, VDD) into a plurality of memory cells. Selected memory cell connected to bitline (BLT) to develop signal voltage, and adjacent reference bitline (BLR) develops reference voltage at VDD/2. An asymmetrical sensing amplifier (ASA), which has alternative positive offset and negative offset, is used to sense signal voltage and reference voltage for both their difference and sameness. ASA control signals, A and B, switch at different timing points or at different voltage level or the combination of both to have offset voltage set at either positive or negative polarity. Two consecutive read out from one ASA or one single read out from two ASA can be implemented to read memory cells data to local IOs. Output from ASA will be used to restore voltage back to the accessed memory cells.

    摘要: An epitaxial growth method for preventing auto-doping effect is presented. This method starts with the removal of impurities from the semiconductor substrate and the reaction chamber to be used. Then the semiconductor substrate is loaded in the cleaned reaction chamber to be pre-baked under vacuum conditions before the extraction of the dopant atoms desorbed from the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Next, under high temperature and low gas flow conditions, a first intrinsic epitaxial layer is formed on the surface of said semiconductor substrate. Following this, under low temperature and high gas flow conditions, a second epitaxial layer of required thickness is formed on the structural surface of the grown intrinsic epitaxial layer. Last, silicon wafer is unloaded after cooling. This method can prevent auto-doping effect during the epitaxial growth on semiconductor substrate and thus ensure the performance and enhance the reliability of the devices in peripheral circuit region.

    摘要: A data storage device with a heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) system, a magnetic recording medium, and method for data storage are provided. The data storage device includes a magnetic recording medium, a magnetic recording head, a power supply, a controller and a switching device. The magnetic recording head includes a main pole having a surface area facing the magnetic recording medium. The controller is coupled to the magnetic recording head for controlling writing information to and reading information from the magnetic recording medium. The switching device electrically couples the power supply between the main pole and the magnetic recording medium in response to a signal provided from the controller when writing information to the magnetic recording medium. The magnetic recording medium comprises a plurality of layers, including a heating layer, a field enhanced conduction layer, and an electrode layer. The electrode layer is electrically coupleable to the power supply and the magnetic recording head for heating a portion of the heating layer opposite the magnetic recording head during writing of data by the magnetic recording head to the magnetic recording medium, the portion of the heating layer defined by an electric field applied to the field enhanced conduction layer.

    摘要: In a non-volatile memory circuit, techniques are presented so that bad columns can be ignored and/or replaced during memory data input and output operations. A column redundant circuit for this purpose reduces circuit size and improves performance. User data is grouped in an interleaved manner so that data belonging to consecutive logical address will be distributed into different physical locations. For example, all column data can be physically grouped into, say, 5 divisions and user data can be written into or accessed from one division after another consecutively. Each division has its own clock control. The column redundancy block can generate bad column locations' information and send it to control logic to switch the user clock to a different division clock, thereby skipping bad columns. By controlling the clocks for different columns, the user can directly access good columns without touching bad columns.
