Abstract: The present disclosure describes embodiments of a device with memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store integrated circuit (IC) trim and redundancy information. The processor is configured to extract bits from the IC trim and redundancy information, perform a hashing function on the extracted bits to generate hashed bits, and in response to statistical properties of the hashed bits meeting one or more criteria, output the hashed bits. In some embodiments, the memory that stores the IC trim and redundancy information can be different from other memory used by the device for other operations (e.g., accessing user data and program data that have been written into system memory).

Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a memory array, a staircase unit, conductive bridge structures, a word line driver and conductive routings. The memory array is disposed in an array region of the semiconductor structure and includes word lines. The staircase unit is disposed in a staircase region and surrounded by the array region. The staircase unit includes first and second staircase steps extending from the word lines of the memory array. The first staircase steps and the second staircase steps face towards each other. The conductive bridge structures are electrically connecting the first staircase steps to the second staircase step. The word line driver is disposed below the memory array and the staircase unit, wherein a central portion of the word line driver is overlapped with a central portion of the staircase unit. The conductive routings extend from the first and the second staircase steps to the word line driver.

Abstract: A memory circuit includes a first and a second bit line, a first and a second inverter, a P-type pass gate transistor, a pre-charge circuit, a first transmission gate and a sense amplifier. The P-type pass gate transistor is coupled between the first storage node and the first bit line. The pre-charge circuit is coupled to at least the first bit line or the second bit line, and configured to charge at least the first or second bit line to a pre-charge voltage responsive to a first signal. The pre-charge voltage is between a voltage of a first logical level and a voltage of a second logical level. The first transmission gate is coupled to the first bit line, and configured to receive a first and a second control signal. The sense amplifier is coupled to the first bit line by the first transmission gate.
