Local self-boost inhibit scheme with shielded word line

A NAND architecture non-volatile memory device and programming process is described that reduces the effects of word line to word line voltage coupling by utilizing sets of two or more adjacent word lines and applying the same voltage to each in array access operations. This allows each word line of the set or pair to shield the other from word line to word line capacitive voltage coupling. In NAND memory string embodiments the various cells of strings of non-volatile memory cells are programmed utilizing modified or unmodified drain-side self boost, source-side self boost, local self boost, and virtual ground programming processes that utilize two or more “blocking” memory cells on either the source line side and drain line side of a selected memory cell. The paired blocking cells shield each other during programming to reduce coupled noise, to prevent charge leakage from the boosted channel of the selected memory cell.

Coupled noise estimation and avoidance of noise-failure using global routing information

Disclosed is a method for pre-design estimation of coupling noise and avoidance of coupling noise failures in interconnects. An initial routing of a plurality of nets is estimated utilizing global paths. Then, the worst-case and average-case models for various parameters of each net are evaluated. With these models, a noise analysis is completed by which a determination is made whether coupling noise of any one of the nets is above a threshold level for noise-induced failure (i.e., a noise-failure threshold). When it is determined that the estimated coupling noise of a net falls below the noise-failure threshold, a response mechanism is triggered for later implementation during detailed routing of the nets to prevent the coupling noise from reaching the noise-failure threshold.

Coupled noise estimation method for on-chip interconnects

An efficient method for identifying potential noise failures in an integrated circuit design by predicting peak noise within a victim circuit of an integrated circuit. Initially, a victim circuit within an integrated circuit is located. An aggressor circuit within the integrated circuit is located which has a physical relationship with the victim circuit, normally proximity. The slope of a signal within the aggressor circuit is analyzed and the coupling currents induced in the victim circuit by the aggressor circuit are computed. The input slope of the aggressor circuit and the physical relationship between the victim circuit and the aggressor circuit are utilized to determine a peak current induced into the victim circuit utilizing modelled coupling capacitance. The peak current and the equivalent impedance of the victim circuit can be utilized to determine peak noise. Noise failures on integrated circuits can be avoided by detecting peak noise which is above acceptable levels.

Multi-port memory architecture

A multi-port memory architecture utilizing an open bitline configuration for the read bitline is described. The memory is sub-divided into two arrays (A and B) consisting of memory gain cells arranged in a matrix formation, the cells having two general ports or separate read and write ports to enable simultaneous a read and write operation. Each memory array includes a reference wordline coupled to reference cells. When the reference cell is accessed, the read bitline (RBL) discharges to a level at half the value taken by a cell storing a 0 or 1. Each pair of RBLB in the same column of the two arrays is coupled to a differential sense amplifier, and each write bitline (WBL) in the two arrays is linked to write drivers WBLs in the two arrays are driven to the same voltage and at the same slew rate. The WBL swing in each array creates coupling noise by the bitline-to-bitline capacitors. For a given sense amplifier and its associated RBLs, the coupling creates an identical coupling noise on RBLA and RBLB that are positioned in the two arrays A and B. This common mode noise is rejected by the differential sense amplifier. Thus, a read sense amplifier can accurately discriminate between the signal by activating the cell by way of RWL, and the reference cell by way of REFWL.

The present invention provides a sensing scheme for semiconductor memory. N-type devices coupling between ground and a bit line and a bit line-bar of memory cells quickly discharge a bit line and a bit line-bar during non-accessing mode. During data accessing mode, one P-type device of an SRAM memory cell pulls up bit line or bit line-bar node slowly to minimize the inductive coupling noise and VDD, Ground bouncing, hence allows smaller amount of differential voltage input to the sense amplifier and results in lower power consumption. A self-timer counts the needed time and sends a signal to enable the current driven sense amplifier and to pull down the word line to avoid further pulling up the bit line or bit line-bar voltage and to reduce the power dissipation.
