چکیده مقاله:
Due to the small size of nanoscale devices, they are highly prone to process disturbances which results in manufacturing defects. Some of the defects arerandomly distributed throughout the nanodevice layer. Other disturbances tend to be local and lead to cluster defects caused by factors such as layer misintegrationand line width variations. In this paper, we propose a method for identifying cluster defects from random ones. The motivation is to repair the cluster defectsusing rectangular ranges in a range matching contentaddressable memory (RM-CAM) and random defectsusing triple-modular redundancy (TMR). It is believed a combination of these two approaches is more effective for repairing defects at high error rate with lessresource. With the proposed fault repairing technique, defect recovery results are examined for different fault distribution scenarios. Also the mapping circuit structure required for two conceptual 32×32 and 64×64 bit RAMs are presented and their speed, power andtransistor count are reported.
