Entry for MPW 8 of Open MPW funded by Google

Objectives

  1. To characterise as many RRAM devices as possible
  2. To scale down the core cell aggressively to minimise pitch in both directions

Top Level Overview

  • 4 million cells (2048 x 2048 - 4,194,304 to be exact)
  • Core cell
    • 1T1R cell, with 1.8V nMOS selector
    • nMOS size of 1.78/0.15
    • cell pitch - 1.08 x 1.56um
      • actual pitch - 1.08 x 1.6um (VSS added every 16 columns)
    • horizontal select line (SEL)
    • vertical nMOS source, RRAM top electrode (aka P,N pins)
      • changing direction of nMOS source/RRAM top electrode is possible but require changes to the design.
  • Row decoder
    • 11 bits
    • Can drive up to 5V on 1.8V nMOS gate for experimental/research purposes
      • Controlled by VSEL supply through analog pads with clamps
  • Column decoder and MUX circuit
    • 9 bits as full array is split into 4 arrays (i.e. 4 outputs)
    • 5V analog multiplexer with Ron ~ 100Ohms across 0 - 5V range
    • 4 pair of P, N outputs (P<3:0>, N<3:0>), via 8 remaining analog pads
