Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular to a chip process angle difference elimination circuit, method and a NAND flash memory chip. Background Art
[0002] NAND flash memory chip is a non-volatile random access storage device with the advantages of large capacity, small size, fast data reading speed and low power consumption. Therefore, it is widely used in storage devices such as solid-state hard disks, USB flash drives, and memory cards. NAND flash memory chips are usually designed with multiple oscillator (OSC) structures inside. The timer composed of the oscillator OSC can provide accurate clock signals for NAND flash memory chips. In order to ensure the accuracy of the timer timing cycle, and also to prevent the inevitable changes and uncertainties accompanying the manufacturing process from affecting the chip's reading speed, power consumption and other characteristics, it is necessary to independently test the clock signal cycle under process corner conditions.
[0003] Generally speaking, process corners include typical corner (Typical Corner, TT), slow corner (Slow Corner, SS), fast corner (Fast Corner, FF), slow-fast corner (Slow-Fast Corner, SF) and fast-slow corner (Fast-Slow Corner, SF). The typical corner is the process parameter under ideal conditions, representing the average performance of the chip under normal working conditions; the slow corner indicates that the process parameter is in a slower range, representing a higher threshold voltage of the transistor, a slower switching speed, but lower power consumption; the fast corner describes that the process parameter is in a faster range, representing a lower threshold voltage of the transistor, a faster speed, but higher power consumption; the slow-fast corner describes a situation where some transistor parameters are slower and others are faster; the fast-slow corner indicates a situation where some transistor parameters are faster and others are slower. The fast-slow corner can test the performance of different parts of the circuit under different conditions. The factors that determine the process corner type can be generally divided into changes in manufacturing process, voltage, and temperature. Before the timer is used for a specific purpose, in order to eliminate the influence of manufacturing process, voltage, and temperature on the oscillator performance as much as possible, an independent PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) test is required.
[0004] For PVT testing, the traditional method is to use an odd number of gate circuits connected end to end to form a ring oscillator to generate a periodic oscillation signal, and combine certain methods to eliminate the chip performance changes caused by PVT. The existing method is to use a fine-tuning device to adjust the capacitance threshold and select the capacitance value of the trimming capacitor connected to the circuit according to different input signals.
[0005] However, when the MOS tube works in the linear amplification area, due to the existence of insulation resistance, the connected trimming capacitor will generate an equivalent resistance. At the same time, due to the influence of insulation resistance in the frequency range, the capacitance of the trimming capacitor will be greatly reduced, resulting in the oscillator being unable to be used in high-speed and high-frequency areas, which limits the working scenario of the oscillator. On the other hand, when the process parameters are in slow-angle conditions, the insulation resistance will cause a greater leakage current, further aggravating the degree of limitation of the oscillator's working scenario, which is not conducive to the promotion and application of NAND flash memory chips in different industrial fields.
