The detection of cell stability and data retention faults in SRAMs has been a time consuming process. In this paper we discuss a new design for test technique called Weak Write Tes...
Process-induced variations and sub-threshold leakage in bulk-Si technology limit the scaling of SRAM into sub-32 nm nodes. New device architectures are being considered to improve ...
