Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit design, and particularly to a 14T radiation-hardened SRAM memory circuit based on polarity strengthening technology. Background Art

[0002] In a space environment, high-energy protons, neutrons, α particles, heavy ions, etc. will hit microelectronic circuits, resulting in single-event effects. Particle impacts may cause temporary damage to the circuit (such as a flip of the logic state), or may also cause permanent damage to the circuit and equipment. For non-permanent types, which can also be called soft errors, the flip of the logic state is also called the single-event upset effect.

[0003] For timing units such as latches and flip-flops, high-energy particles in a radiation environment bombard sensitive nodes of the circuit, depositing a large amount of charge on the incident trajectory. These charges are collected by the circuit, causing the storage state of the unit to reverse, forming the single-event upset effect (abbreviated as SEU). With the development of integrated circuits, whether it is spacecraft in a space environment or ground microelectronic devices, the demand for radiation-hardened integrated circuits is increasing. According to Moore's law, the feature size of integrated circuits will inevitably become smaller and smaller, and the negative effects caused by charge sharing are becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of spacecraft and others for radiation-hardened integrated circuits, it is very necessary to explore and analyze the physical mechanism and influencing factors of the charge sharing effect, and the prior art lacks corresponding solutions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a 14T radiation-hardened SRAM memory circuit based on polarity strengthening technology, which can improve the write speed of the storage unit, reduce the unit power consumption, and improve the single-event upset (SEU) resistance ability of the unit.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0012] The gate of the PMOS transistor P3 is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P4, and at the same time, the gate of the PMOS transistor P4 is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P3, that is, the PMOS transistors P3 and P4 form a cross-coupled structure of MOS transistors;

[0013] The redundant storage nodes S0 and S1 are respectively connected to the gates of the PMOS transistors P1 and P2. The sources of the PMOS transistors P1 and P2 are connected to the circuit power supply VDD, and the drains of the PMOS transistors P1 and P2 are connected to the main storage nodes Q and QN; therefore, the PMOS transistors P1 and P2 act as pull-up transistors for the main storage nodes Q and QN;

[0014] The sources of the NMOS transistors N1 and N2 are connected to the redundant storage nodes S0 and S1, and the drains of the NMOS transistors N1 and N2 are connected to the circuit ground signal VSS; therefore, the NMOS transistors N1 and N2 act as pull-down transistors for the redundant storage nodes S0 and S1;

[0015] Similarly, the sources of the NMOS transistors N3 and N4 are connected to the main storage nodes Q and QN, and the drains of the NMOS transistors N3 and N4 are connected to the circuit ground signal VSS; therefore, the NMOS transistors N3 and N4 act as pull-down transistors for the main storage nodes Q and QN;

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments, which do not constitute a limitation to the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown is a schematic structural diagram of a 14T radiation-hardened SRAM memory circuit based on a polarity reinforcement technology provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The circuit mainly includes six NMOS transistors and eight PMOS transistors. The six NMOS transistors are sequentially denoted as N1 to N6, and the eight PMOS transistors are sequentially denoted as P1 to P8, where:

[0025] Two main storage nodes Q and QN are respectively connected to bit lines BL and BLB through NMOS transistors N5 and N6, and two redundant storage nodes S0 and S1 are respectively connected to bit lines BL and BLB through PMOS transistors P8 and P7, where:

[0026] NMOS transistors N5 and N6 are controlled by word line WLB, and PMOS transistors P7 and P8 are controlled by word line WL;

[0027] The bit line BL is electrically connected to the sources of the NMOS transistor N5 and the PMOS transistor P8, and the bit line BLB is electrically connected to the sources of the NMOS transistor N6 and the PMOS transistor P7;

[0028] The word line WL is electrically connected to the gates of the PMOS transistors P7 and P8, and the word line WLB is electrically connected to the gates of the NMOS transistors N5 and N6;

[0029] The drain of the NMOS transistor N5 is electrically connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor N1, and the drain of the NMOS transistor N6 is electrically connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor N2; the drain of the PMOS transistor P8 is electrically connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P3, and the drain of the PMOS transistor P7 is electrically connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P4;

[0030] The gate of the PMOS transistor P3 is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P4, and at the same time the gate of the PMOS transistor P4 is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P3, that is, the PMOS transistors P3 and P4 form a cross-coupled structure of MOS transistors;

[0031] The redundant storage nodes S0 and S1 are respectively connected to the gates of the PMOS transistors P1 and P2. The sources of the PMOS transistors P1 and P2 are connected to the circuit power supply VDD, and the drains of the PMOS transistors P1 and P2 are connected to the main storage nodes Q and QN; therefore, the PMOS transistors P1 and P2 act as pull-up transistors for the main storage nodes Q and QN;

[0032] The sources of the NMOS transistors N1 and N2 are connected to the redundant storage nodes S0 and S1, and the drains of the NMOS transistors N1 and N2 are connected to the circuit ground signal VSS; therefore, the NMOS transistors N1 and N2 act as pull-down transistors for the redundant storage nodes S0 and S1;

[0033] Similarly, the sources of the NMOS transistors N3 and N4 are connected to the main storage nodes Q and QN, and the drains of the NMOS transistors N3 and N4 are connected to the circuit ground signal VSS; therefore, the NMOS transistors N3 and N4 act as pull-down transistors for the main storage nodes Q and QN;

[0034] The power supply VDD is electrically connected to the sources of the PMOS transistors P1 and P2, and the power supply VDD is also electrically connected to the sources of the PMOS transistors P3 and P4;

[0035] The drains of the NMOS transistors N3 and N4 and the drains of the NMOS transistors N1 and N2 are all grounded.

[0036] For a circuit based on the above structure, if it is necessary to retain a signal, the word lines WL and WLB are respectively set to 0 and 1, and the PMOS transistors P1, P2 and the NMOS transistors N5, N6 are in the off state. The connections between the main storage nodes Q, QN and the redundant storage nodes S0, S1 and the bit lines BL, BLB are disconnected. The information stored in the Q node is opposite to that in the QN node, so that one of the NMOS transistors N3, N4 is turned on. Due to the cross-coupled circuit structure of the above NMOS transistors N3, N4, the pull-down transistor corresponding to the node storing the high level in the main storage nodes Q, QN is turned off, and the pull-down transistor corresponding to the node storing the low level is turned on, so as to retain the stored signals of the Q, QN nodes. At the same time, the stored information of S0 and QN, S1 and Q nodes remains the same signal;

[0037] The principle of realizing radiation resistance is that the information level stored in the Q node is opposite to that stored in the S0 node. If the Q node stores a high level, the corresponding S0 node stores a low level. The transistors P5, N1 and P4 are turned on to form a ground path for the S0 node and a power supply path for the S1 node at the same time. At the same time, the transistor P1 is turned on by the internal low-level signal of the S0 node, so as to turn on the power supply path of the Q node. When the Q node is bombarded by an external irradiation current, the voltage mutation of the Q node can be pulled back to the normal level, realizing the radiation resistance design.

[0038] If it is necessary to read information, the control bit lines BL, BLB are kept at a high level before the word lines WL, WLB are turned on, so that the bit lines are in a precharged state. The corresponding word lines WL, WLB turn on the gate transistors, turn on the discharge path of the storage node, and read the internal data of the main storage nodes Q, QN into the bit lines BL, BLB through the gate transistors (i.e., NMOS transistors N5, N6), realizing the reading of the stored information;

[0039] If it is necessary to write information, the control bit lines BL, BLB are respectively in the written information value and the reverse signal of the written information value. The word lines WL and WLB control the gate transistors, that is, the PMOS transistors P1, P2 and the NMOS transistors N5, N6 are turned on, and the electrical signals in the bit lines BL, BLB are written to realize the writing of the stored information.

2. The 14T radiation-hardened SRAM memory circuit based on the polarity hardening technology according to claim 1, characterized in that, based on the circuit: If it is necessary to maintain the signal, the word lines WL and WLB are respectively set to 0 and 1, and the PMOS transistors P1, P2 and the NMOS transistors N5, N6 are in the off state; the connections between the main storage nodes Q, QN and the redundant storage nodes S0, S1 and the bit lines BL, BLB are disconnected. The information stored in the Q node is opposite to that in the QN node, so that one of the NMOS transistors N3, N4 is turned on. Since the NMOS transistors N3, N4 have a cross-coupled circuit structure, the pull-down transistor corresponding to the node storing the high level in the main storage nodes Q, QN is turned off, and the pull-down transistor corresponding to the node storing the low level is turned on, so as to maintain the storage signals of the Q, QN nodes. At the same time, the storage information of the S0 and QN nodes, and the S1 and Q nodes remains the same signal; If it is necessary to read information, the control bit lines BL, BLB are maintained at a high level before the word lines WL, WLB are turned on, so that the bit lines are in a pre-charged state. The corresponding word lines WL, WLB turn on the gate transistors, and open the discharge path of the storage nodes, and the internal data of the main storage nodes Q, QN is read into the bit lines BL, BLB through the gate transistors, that is, the NMOS transistors N5, N6, to realize the reading of the storage information; If it is necessary to write information, the control bit lines BL, BLB are respectively in the write information value and the reverse signal of the write information value. The word lines WL and WLB control the gate transistors, that is, the PMOS transistors P1, P2 and the NMOS transistors N5, N6 to be turned on, and the electrical signals in the bit lines BL, BLB are written to realize the writing of the storage information.
