Description

Method, device, storage medium and terminal for repairing redundant information in static random access memory
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chips, in particular to a method and a device for repairing redundant information in a static random access memory, a storage medium and a terminal.
Background
In the chip manufacturing, with the continuous reduction of process nodes, the logic scale of the chip is larger and larger, and the density of Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs) with the same storage capacity is also greatly improved, so that the number of the Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs) integrated on a single chip is rapidly increased, and the scale of the static random access memories is also continuously improved while the scale of the existing chip is continuously increased, so that the static random access memories in most chips can occupy more than half of the area of the single chip. Such large-scale applications make Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs) highly susceptible to defects that may scrap an entire chip. Therefore, how to plan the test and implementation scheme of the Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is of great significance to the yield (yield) and yield of the whole chip.
In the prior art, one is based on macroscopic recommendations given by the manufacturing plant (Foundry), which is a relatively large granularity. As the area of the memory cell increases, the yield difference between the memory cell and the logic cell under the same condition becomes larger and larger. Therefore, the (manufacturer) Foundry gives a macroscopic repair scheme, and when the size of the memory cell exceeds a certain range, the memory cell needs to be repaired, so that the stability of the overall yield (yield) is ensured, but the real condition of the chip is not considered, and the given value is difficult to obtain the optimal result. The other is that each Design House (Design House) generally determines redundancy logic according to the recommendations of the manufacturer (foundation) based on the existing experience, and compared with the solution recommended by the manufacturer (foundation), the operation granularity is more accurate, but the situation of one-time cutting cannot be avoided, and the better effect is difficult to achieve. The existing mechanism provides that the redundancy logic is calculated according to the real chip area, but the input data needs to model the static random access memory unit according to the detailed information of a manufacturer (Foundry), complex global iteration and repeated operation are adopted, the division of the row and the column of the memory unit is not considered, the influence of repair logic, the grouping of the static memory unit and the repair logic is not considered, and the requirement of complexity is too high to be applied to the actual project.
Therefore, how to quickly detect and repair redundant information of a memory cell in a chip, thereby improving the yield of the chip, is a difficult problem to be urgently broken through in the academic world.

To date, one of the methods for redundant logic detection and repair in a chip is based on macro recommendations given by the manufacturing plant (Foundry), which has a relatively large granularity. As the area of the memory cell increases, the yield difference between the memory cell and the logic cell under the same condition becomes larger and larger. Therefore, the (manufacturer) Foundry gives a macroscopic repair scheme, and when the size of the memory cell exceeds a certain range, the memory cell needs to be repaired, so that the stability of the overall yield (yield) is ensured, but the real condition of the chip is not considered, and the given value is difficult to obtain the optimal result. The other is that each Design House (Design House) generally determines redundancy logic according to the recommendations of the manufacturer (foundation) based on the existing experience, and compared with the solution recommended by the manufacturer (foundation), the operation granularity is more accurate, but the situation of one-time cutting cannot be avoided, and the better effect is difficult to achieve. The existing mechanism provides that the redundancy logic is calculated according to the real chip area, but the input data needs to model the static random access memory unit according to the detailed information of a manufacturer (Foundry), complex global iteration and repeated operation are adopted, the division of the row and the column of the memory unit is not considered, the influence of repair logic, the grouping of the static memory unit and the repair logic is not considered, and the requirement of complexity is too high to be applied to the actual project. Therefore, the present application provides a method, an apparatus, a storage medium, and a terminal for repairing redundant information in a static random access memory, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems in the related art. In the technical scheme provided by the application, a preset evaluation algorithm is embedded into a realization process of a self-test built-in (MABIST) logic of a storage array, redundancy analysis of a static random access memory in the storage array is performed through shared data information to generate a redundancy result, and finally, the redundancy logic information is distributed and further optimized through the redundancy result, so that the yield of chips is improved.
The following describes in detail a method for repairing redundant information in a static random access memory according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 1 to 5. The method may be implemented by means of a computer program, and may be run on a redundant information repair device in a static random access memory based on the von neumann architecture. The computer program may be integrated into the application or may run as a separate tool-like application.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of a method for repairing redundant information in a static random access memory according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 1, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the steps of:
s101, when built-in self-test is carried out on a storage array in a chip, information data of each static random access memory in the storage array are shared;
the built-in self test is an implementation technology of testability design, and aims to detect redundant information of a static random access memory in a chip through an implementation process of a memory array built-in self test (MABIST) logic.
In a possible implementation manner, when detecting redundancy information of a static random access memory in a chip and performing logic repair, a pre-designed evaluation algorithm needs to be embedded into a storage array built-in self-test logic in the chip, the selection of the size and the type of the storage logic of a designer is based on an empirical value and a selection made by the designer according to performance requirements, and when the evaluation algorithm is implemented in a storage array built-in self-test (mabbist) implementation process, all information read in the storage array built-in self-test (mabbist) implementation process, including a storage unit type, rank information and a current redundancy scheme, are shared.
The method comprises the steps of obtaining a grouping scheme of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) in the design in the implementation process of the built-in self test (MABIST) of the storage array in real time, and obtaining a test repair scheme of the built-in self test (MABIST) of the storage array. It is also necessary to supplement process information provided by the lowest manufacturer (foundry) required for calculating redundancy when performing a built-in self test (mabbist) implementation process, including but not limited to yield (yield) of different types of memory cells, yield (logic yield) of logic cells, physical information (memory level) of memory cells, physical information (register level) of logic cells and related defect information (defect level) and manufacturing complexity.
Further, in the design of evaluation algorithm, it can be concluded that the ratio of yield (yield) increase and area increase of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is much larger than the original one by calculating the simplified formula of the die (good die) passing the testThe chip can gain much more benefit from the ratio of the yield (yield) to the area of the memory. The number of dies that pass the test is formulated as:
Figure BDA0002619927280000071
where G represents the good die number, i.e. the number of dies that pass the test, Ychip: representing the yield of the chip, Awafer: representing the area of the wafer, Adie: representing the area of the die. The formula for calculating the number of the repaired good die is
Figure BDA0002619927280000072
Wherein, Gr: representing the number of good die after repair, Ylogic is the yield of logic units in the chip, Ym is the yield of storage units in the chip, dYm is the yield increased by increasing the repair of redundant units, AWafer is the area of a wafer, Adie is the area of a bare chip, and dA is the extra area introduced by increasing the redundant units and the repair logic.
From the above two equations, if: gr>G is the number of the first group,
Figure BDA0002619927280000073
(where A is Adie: the area of the die). The formula is further optimized in view of realism: suppose that:
Figure BDA0002619927280000074
(pi is the circumferential ratio, Rw is the radius of the wafer, and A is the area of the die), so that the following equation can be derived:
Figure BDA0002619927280000081
if the formula is further updated, an updated evaluation mode is provided:
Figure BDA0002619927280000082
(R is Rw represents the radius of the wafer).
S102, performing redundancy analysis according to the information data of each static random access memory to generate redundancy information required to be added by each static random access memory;
in the embodiment of the application, firstly, descending order arrangement is carried out according to the capacity of each static random access memory to generate each static random access memory after arrangement, then, parameter information shared by each static random access memory is read according to each static random access memory after arrangement, then, row and column repair calculation is carried out based on the shared parameter information to generate the weight of row and column redundancy in each static random access memory, then, iterative comparison is carried out on the weight of row and column redundancy in each static random access memory to obtain the optimal row and column redundancy weight in each static random access memory, then, ascending order arrangement is carried out on the optimal row and column redundancy weight in each static random access memory to generate a weight set after arrangement, and finally, the redundancy distribution of each static random access memory is calculated based on the weight set after arrangement to generate the redundancy information of each static random access memory.
In one possible implementation, for example, as shown in fig. 2, if a redundancy analysis algorithm is used in the implementation process of the built-in self test (mabbist) of the memory array, the tool first reads in information data of the shared Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), then performs permutation according to the size of the SRAM, performs row-column repair by default, and calculates a weight of the row-column redundancy according to the grouping, repair information, and estimated chip area information Ae of the SRAM:
Figure BDA0002619927280000083
wherein (Mm is a weight for calculating the row-column redundancy, Ym is a yield of the memory, dAm is an increased area of the memory cell, dAl is an increased area of the logic cell, dYm is an increased yield of the memory cell, dYl is a decreased yield of the logic cell), the row-column weight is compared, and the row-column value and the estimated chip area are compared, so that the optimal row-column redundancy allocation is found through iterative calculation.
When the weight value Mm>AeThe current information is accessed as a backup, the next SRAM is calculated (the weight of the SRAM and the calculation of the weight are shown in FIG. 3. if the row repair or the column repair is limited, the FIG. 3 can be further simplified, the redundant information of the row and the column is not required to be calculated at the same time, and only the current information is calculatedThe information of the rows or columns is redundantly allocated. After all Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) weights are calculated, the second part of fig. 2 is entered, and sorting is performed according to the calculated weights and according to the size of the weights, using the corrected area: a. thee=A+ΔAm-1Performing more refined weight calculation on determinant in safety range
Figure BDA0002619927280000084
Figure BDA0002619927280000091
To calculate Mm>AeAnd (3) performing time redundancy distribution, namely traversing all information, then additionally calculating redundant lines and columns additionally introduced in the redundant calculation process, and acquiring the current optimal redundant solution after the processing is finished, wherein the redundant solution is redundant information required to be added by each static random access memory.
S103, distributing the redundant information to each static random access memory based on the redundant information needing to be added.
In a possible implementation manner, when the current optimal redundancy solution is obtained after the processing is completed, redundancy information allocation is performed on each static random access memory based on the redundancy information to be added, so that each repaired static random access memory is obtained.
Further, when the static random access memories are further repaired after register sharing is started, grouping information of the Static Random Access Memories (SRAM) in different modules is obtained, meanwhile, embedded self-repair analysis and self-repair logic under the current grouping is obtained, and the embedded self-test and self-repair logic under the same grouping can reduce extra area overhead introduced by the self-test logic of the Static Random Access Memories (SRAM) through sharing a repair unit. Whether the Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) between each group can pass the shared redundancy is calculated by using the weight calculated in step S102, and the area of the chip can be further optimized, thereby obtaining further optimization information. The following formula is used in optimization:
Figure BDA0002619927280000092
if so: gr > G is
Figure BDA0002619927280000093
Thus, the Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is further optimized by using a formula close to reality:
Figure BDA0002619927280000094
Figure BDA0002619927280000095
evaluation mode for area reduction:
Figure BDA0002619927280000096
the specific calculation method is as shown in fig. 4, according to the obtained Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) grouping information, n (n >1) Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs) meeting the sharing requirement are found from the group, whether to continue to increase the number of the shared Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs) next step is calculated according to the currently calculated Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) weight, when the current sharing weight is less than the last sharing weight, the calculation is stopped, the last shared Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is removed, and the sharing analysis is continued in the set until all the Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs) are analyzed completely. And under the condition that the current sharing weight value does not meet the requirement, removing the current sharing, calculating the next group of sharing strategies, and sequentially and circularly optimizing the storage units in the chip.
For example, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a logic block diagram for repairing redundant information in a static random access memory provided in the present application, and designing and storing library files, designing logic analysis, testing logic insertion, and testing logic detection are prior art, and when performing redundancy analysis by using built-in self-test in the prior art, first, manufacturing process data is obtained, and then, redundancy analysis is performed, and redundant information is obtained by calculation according to a weight in the redundancy analysis and is repaired. When the repair is complete and register sharing is turned on, further optimization is performed, making the repair more granular.
In the embodiment of the application, when the device for repairing redundant information in the static random access memory performs built-in self-test on the memory array in the chip, information data of each static random access memory in the memory array is shared firstly, then redundancy analysis is performed according to the information data of each static random access memory to generate redundant information required to be added to each static random access memory, and finally redundant information distribution is performed on each static random access memory based on the redundant information required to be added. According to the method and the device, the preset evaluation algorithm is embedded into the implementation process of the built-in self test (MABIST) logic of the storage array, the redundancy analysis of the static random access memory in the storage array is carried out through the shared data information, the redundancy result is generated, and finally the redundancy logic information is subjected to redundancy distribution and further optimization through the redundancy result, so that the yield of the chip is improved.
