摘要
A novel SRAM architecture with a high density cell in low supply voltage operation is proposed. A self-write-back sense amplifier realizes cell failure rate improvement by more than two orders of magnitude at 0.6V. A cascaded bit line scheme saves additional process cost for hierarchical bit tine layer. A test chip with 256kb SRAM utilizing 0.495um(2) cell in 65nm CMOS technology demonstrated 0.7V single supply operation.
