Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of static random access memory cells, in particular to a NRHC-14T radiation-resistant SRAM memory cell, a chip and a module. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The size of electronic devices is getting smaller and smaller, its integration is getting higher and higher, and factors such as the space radiation environment in which it works affect the stability of the device. The radiation effect in space will cause single event effects (SEE) to the working static random access memory (SRAM). Single event effects can cause hard errors and soft errors in electronic devices. The occurrence of hard errors can cause physical damage to the device, leading to catastrophic consequences; while soft errors mainly affect the working state of the device, making it unable to transmit correct information. Due to the limited energy of space radiation particles, the probability of causing soft errors in the device is much greater than the probability of causing hard errors in the device. Among soft errors, the probability of single event upset (SEU) is much greater than the probability of other types of errors. In order to improve the unit's ability to resist SEU, the existing technology mainly includes the following solutions:

[0003] 1. As Figure 1 The figure shows a DICE 12T circuit that is resistant to single-event upsets. It has 4 storage nodes and 4 transmission tubes. When an SEU occurs on each single storage node, the node will eventually be recovered by the remaining nodes. However, when an SEU occurs on any two storage nodes, the storage information of the circuit node will be flipped and cannot be self-recovered, resulting in erroneous data.

[0004] 2. If Figure 2 The figure shows a Soft Error Tolerant 10T SRAM BitCell (QUATRO 10T) circuit. It has better SEU resistance than the traditional six-tube cell structure, but the write capability of the cell is poor, and its Hold Static Noise Margin (HSNM) and Read Static Noise Margin (RSNM) are poor.

[0005] 3. Such as Figure 3The circuit shown is a SAR14T circuit, which uses four NMOS transistors to write data into the cell, but uses two NMOS transistors to read data through external nodes, resulting in a large read delay time for the cell.

[0006] 4. Such as Figure 4 The circuit shown is a RSP14T circuit, which utilizes source isolation technology. When the cell stores "1", the stacked PMOS structure connects the transistor P2 to the weak signal "1", so the amount of charge collected by the drain of the transistor P2 will be reduced, the resistance of the node QB to SEU is improved, and the cell becomes more stable.

[0007] 5. As Figure 5 The circuit shown is a Radiation Hardened By Polar Design (RHPD-12T), which can resist partial double-node flips in addition to single-node flips, but at the expense of lower HSNM and RSNM.

[0008] 6. Such as Figure 6 The figure shows a Radiation Hardened By Design SRAM bit-cell (RHBD14T) circuit. This circuit uses polarity hardening technology, which reduces the number of sensitive nodes, but leads to larger read and write delays and lower noise margin (SNM) values.

[0009] Based on the above existing solutions, there is a need for a NRHC-14T unit that improves the read and write speed of the storage unit, reduces the power consumption of the unit, and improves the unit's ability to resist single-event upsets. Summary of the invention

The source of the PMOS transistor P5 is electrically connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P1, and the gate of the PMOS transistor P5 is electrically connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P3 and the drain of the NMOS transistor N1. The source of the PMOS transistor P6 is electrically connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P2 , and the gate of the PMOS transistor P6 is electrically connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P4 and the drain of the NMOS transistor N2 .

[0062] The drain of the NMOS transistor N1 is electrically connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P3, the gate of the PMOS transistor P5, and the gate of the NMOS transistor N2, and the gate of the NMOS transistor N1 is electrically connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor N2, the drain of the PMOS transistor P4, and the gate of the PMOS transistor P6. The drain of the NMOS transistor N2 is electrically connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor P4, the gate of the PMOS transistor P6, and the gate of the NMOS transistor N1, and the gate of the NMOS transistor N2 is electrically connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor N1, the drain of the PMOS transistor P3, and the gate of the PMOS transistor P5.

The drain of N6 is electrically connected to the drain of N2, the gate of N6 is electrically connected to the word line WL, and the source of N6 is electrically connected to the bit line BLB.

[0063] The length of all transistors is 65nm, among which the width of PMOS transistors P1 and P2 is 370nm, the width of P5 and P6 is 80nm, and the width of all remaining transistors is 140nm.

[0064] The principle of the above NRHC-14T radiation-resistant SRAM storage cell is as follows: in the holding stage, the bit lines BL and BLB are precharged to a high level, the word line WL is a low level, the word line WLB is a high level, the circuit maintains its initial state, and the circuit does not work. When in the data reading stage, the bit lines BL and BLB are precharged to a high level, the word line WL is a high level, the word line WLB is a low level, and the transfer transistors N5, N6, P7 and P8 are turned on; if the data stored in the unit circuit is '0', then "Q=S0=0, QN=S1=1"; then BL discharges to the ground through discharge path 1: transistors P7, P5 and discharge path 2: transistors N5, N1, and N3, so that a voltage difference is generated on the bit line, and then the data is read out through the sensitive amplifier; if the data stored in the unit circuit is '1', then "Q=S0=1, QN=S1=0" then BLB discharges to the ground through discharge path 1: transistors P8, P6 and discharge path 2: transistors N6, N2 and N4, so that a bit line voltage difference is generated, and then the data is read out through the sensitive amplifier. In the data writing phase, the word line WL is at a high level and the word line WLB is at a low level. If BL is at a high level and BLB is at a low level, then '1' is written to the storage nodes Q and S0 respectively through the transmission transistors N5 and P7; if BL is at a low level and BLB is at a high level, then '1' is written to the storage nodes QN and S1 respectively through the transmission transistors N6 and P8. During the writing process, because data is written to the internal nodes Q\S0 and QN\S1 simultaneously through the transmission transistors N5 and P7 and N6 and P8, the storage nodes are more easily written with data, so the writing speed will be greatly improved. At the same time, the power consumption of the circuit is reduced due to the greatly improved writing speed.

[0065] When only considering the improvement of the circuit structure's radiation resistance performance, if the storage node of the circuit is bombarded by particles, since the circuit nodes S0 and S1 are surrounded by PMOS transistors, according to the polarity reinforcement principle, the space particles bombard the sensitive node PMOS tube, and only a "0-1" voltage pulse is generated at the node, and this pulse cannot affect the state of other transistors due to the existence of gate capacitance, which effectively prevents the external nodes S0 and S1 from flipping. At the same time, the stability of the data of the S0 and S1 nodes ensures that the internal nodes Q and QN can be restored to the initial state after flipping, thereby improving the circuit's ability to resist SEU. If other non-critical nodes are bombarded by particles, the storage unit is less susceptible to being affected.

[0066] Under the simulation conditions of Corner: TT; Temperature: 27℃; VDD: 1.2V, the timing waveform of the NRHC-14T radiation-resistant SRAM storage cell circuit is as follows: Figure 8The transient waveform simulation of the NRHC-14T radiation-resistant SRAM storage unit circuit at different times and different nodes being injected with double exponential current source pulses is shown in Figure 2.

Fig.10 The comparison of the number of failures of the NRHC-14T radiation-resistant SRAM storage cell circuit and the prior art SRAM cell circuit under different power supply voltages and different frequencies is shown in the figure. Fig.11 shown.

[0067] The simulation conditions are consistent with the above. The overall circuit area, read / write time and power consumption of the 14T radiation-resistant SRAM storage unit circuit provided in this embodiment are improved compared with the prior art SRAM unit circuit, as shown in the following table:
