Plug and play library with advanced toolbox for integration of FB-DRAM devices

Linked to T4.3 and T4.4. A toolbox containing building blocks for a library of complex memory matrix array including the simplified models derived in T4.2 and T4.3. Models with variable complexity (temperature effects included) will be considered, from very simple/fast-computing models to advanced/slow-computing models. The models will be checked against measurements (WP2) and numerical simulations (WP3). For selected devices, the models will be checked in simple demonstrators, memory matrix arrays fabricated in WP1. The toolbox is aimed as a true ‘plug and play’ library which has a potential to be applied for all versions of FB-DRAMs. The toolbox will aim to be implemented into SPICE, ELDO, etc. The toolbox will allow the selection of particular FB-DRAM structure (e.g. single gate, double gate, multi-bodies, variable dimensional parameters, etc), operating conditions (e.g. bias, temperature), injection programming method (e.g. tunnelling, ionization, or bipolar), suited transistor model (semi-analytical or compact), and electro-thermal model. Using these models FBDRAM cell dynamics will be evaluated and explored feeding back results so the models may be optimised if necessary in order to ensure modelling accuracy in the commercial design environment.
