Contribution to the analysis of signals obtained by dynamic photon emission for the purpose of studying very large scale integration circuits
2014
Scaling progresses has the benefit of making chips always more powerful. On the other hand, when there is a failure, the analysis of such advanced devices has became more sensitive. The defect localization step of this process is the critical one. Indeed, the aim is to find transistors which dimensions range in several nanometers on a device which surface is several square centimeters.Optical techniques like dynamical photon emission, also named Time Resolved Imaging (TRI), have proved to fit in such context. The later is based on the acquisition and exploitation of photons emitted by a switching CMOS structure. Due to its physical bacground, this tool has a limited invasive effect and can …
Magnetic domain-wall racetrack memory for high density and fast data storage
2012
The racetrack memory device is a new concept of Magnetic RAM (MRAM) based on controlling domain wall (DW) motion in ferromagnetic nanowires. It promises ultra-high storage density thanks to the possibility to store multiple narrow DWS per memory cell. By using read and write heads based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) fast data access speed can also be achieved. Thereby the racetrack memory can be used as universal storage to address both embedded and standalone applications. In this paper, we present the device physics, integration circuit and architecture designs of a racetrack memory based on MTJs with PMA. Mixed SPICE simulations at 65 nm …
