Description

MOSFET-TFET mixed 11T SRAM unit circuit
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a MOSFET-TFET hybrid 11T SRAM unit circuit.
Background
With the development of mobile electronic products, the demand for low power consumption of integrated circuits is becoming more and more urgent. In recent years, MOSFETs (metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) have become an important component of digital integrated circuits and analog integrated circuits. However, as integrated circuit technology nodes evolve, some of the drawbacks of MOSFETs in ultra-low power circuits make it difficult to obtain satisfactory results. Since the turn-off capability of the MOSFET at the sub-threshold voltage is weakened due to the short channel effect of the MOSFET as the size of the MOSFET is reduced, so that the static leakage current and the static power consumption of the circuit are increased, in the microprocessor, a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) occupies more than 50% of the chip area and consumes most of the static power consumption of the processor, so that it becomes very critical to reduce the static power consumption of the SRAM.
Although many methods for reducing the static power consumption of an SRAM at sub-threshold voltages have been proposed extensively, conventional MOSFET technology has almost reached physical limits in ultra-low power applications, and the sub-threshold swing theoretical value at room temperature is not lower than 60 mV/dec. Further reduction of SRAM static power consumption at sub-threshold operating voltages remains quite limited. With respect to MOSFETs, the currently most promising low-power device is a Tunneling Field-Effect Transistor (TFET) based on Band-to-Band Tunneling (Band-to-Band Tunneling) mechanism. The subthreshold swing of the TFET can break through the limit of 60mV/dec, and the TFET can work under lower voltage to obtain larger current switching ratio, so that the static power consumption can be greatly reduced. However, due to the structural characteristics of TFETs, which have unidirectional conductivity and which differently dope the P and N regions of the MOS transistor, there are challenges in designing circuits using TFETs that have forward biased P-I-N currents that are not controlled by the gate due to the asymmetry of the source and drain doping, which increase the static power consumption of the circuit and also affect the stability of the storage node in the retention state.

In a specific implementation, the circuit further includes the following structure:

Based on the above circuit configuration, the circuit, in the hold state: the write word line WL, write bit line BL, write bit line BLB, and read word line RWL are all low, and the NMOSFET transistors N3, N4 and the NTFET transistors N5, N6 are in an off state; the PTFET transistors P3 and P4 are turned on, so that a latch circuit formed by the PTFET transistor P1 and the NTFET transistor N1, and the PTFET transistor P2 and the NTFET transistor N2 is in a latch state, and the stability of the SRAM unit in a holding state is ensured.
Based on the circuit structure, the circuit, in a read operation phase:

if the voltage of the storage node Q is "0" and the voltage of the storage node QB is "1", the read bit line RBL is discharged through the NTFET transistors N6, N7, completing the operation of reading "0";
if the voltage of the storage node Q is "1" and the voltage of the storage node QB is "0", the read bit line RBL is always kept at a high level to complete the operation of reading "1";
and a sense amplifier in the SRAM unit reads the data stored in the SRAM unit by detecting the change of the RBL level of the read bit line, so that the read operation is completed.
Based on the circuit structure, the circuit, in a write operation phase:

assuming that the storage node Q is "1" and the storage node QB is "0", when the SRAM cell is to perform a write operation of "0", the write word line WL and the write bit line BL are set to high level, and the write bit line BLB is kept at the original state, i.e., low level; at this time, the NTFET transistor N5 and the NMOSFET transistor N3 are turned on, the PTFET transistor P3 is turned off, the P4 is turned on, the storage node Q is rapidly pulled to a low level because the pull-up path of VDD to the storage node Q is cut off by the turning off of the PTFET transistor P3, the VDD charges the storage node QB through the PTFET transistors P4, P2, so that the voltage of the storage node QB is rapidly raised to a high level, thereby completing the write "0" operation; after the write operation is finished, the write word line WL and the write bit line BL are set to be low level, the PTFET transistor P3 is turned on, the latch state is restored, and the stability of the SRAM unit is guaranteed;
assuming that the storage node Q is "0" and the storage node QB is "1", when the SRAM cell performs a write "1" operation, the write word line WL and the write bit line BLB are set to a high level, the write bit line BL is kept at a low level, the pass transistor NMOSFET transistor N4 and the NTFET transistor N5 are turned on, and the NTFET transistor P4 is turned off; the turning off of the PTFET transistor P4 cuts off the pull-up path of VDD to the storage node QB, which is rapidly pulled low through N4 and N5, and at the same time, since the write bit line BL is low, the PTFET transistor P3 is turned on, VDD charges the storage node Q through the PTFET transistors P3 and P1, so that the voltage of the storage node Q is rapidly raised high, thereby completing the write "1" operation; after the write operation is completed, the write word line WL and the write bit line BLB are set to low level, the PTFET transistor P4 is turned on, the latch state is restored, and the stability of the SRAM cell is ensured. The writing auxiliary technology is adopted in the process, so that the writing capacity and the writing margin of the SRAM unit are greatly improved.
In order to show the structure and effect of the circuit of the present invention more clearly, the SRAM cell circuit provided in the embodiment of the present invention is compared with other TFET SRAM cell circuits with reference to the following specific contents:
1) as shown in fig. 2, which is a data schematic diagram comparing write margins of the circuit provided by the embodiment of the present invention with write margins of other cells, write noise margins are obtained from a voltage transfer characteristic curve (denoted as VTC), because of the write assist technique, the circuit structure according to the embodiment of the present invention has a write margin larger than that of the 7T TFET SRAM cell and the 10T TFET SRAM cell accessed by the combinational transistor in the background art, and the 10T TFET SRAM cell accessed by the combinational transistor in the prior art needs to increase the size of the access transistor to complete the write operation.
2) Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing comparison data of static power consumption of the circuit according to the embodiment of the present invention and static power consumption of other units, which shows comparison of static power consumption of the MOSFET-TFET hybrid 11T SRAM cell circuit according to the embodiment of the present invention and the prior art 7T TFET SRAM and 10T TFET SRAM unit accessed by the combination transistor at a voltage of 0.5V to 1V, and it can be seen from experimental simulation results that: as the operating voltage rises, the static power consumption of the SRAM cell increases by orders of magnitude without eliminating the forward bias voltage, since 7T TFET SRAM in the prior art gradually increases due to the forward bias voltage of the access transistor in the retention state.
Compared with the traditional 7T TFET SRAM unit in the prior art, the static power consumption of the MOSFET-TFET hybrid 11T SRAM unit circuit provided by the invention is reduced by at least 3 orders of magnitude, because the NMOSFET with the bidirectional conduction characteristic is used as the access transistor, the problem of positive bias P-I-N current existing when the traditional 7T TFET SRAM unit uses the unidirectional conduction TFET transistor as the access transistor in the holding state is solved.
It is noted that those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments of the present invention are not described in detail herein.
In summary, the circuit in the embodiment of the present invention utilizes the bidirectional conduction characteristic of the MOSFET transistor, and the TFET transistor has a smaller sub-threshold swing and a higher switching current ratio characteristic than the MOSFET transistor, so as to eliminate the problem of forward bias leakage current when the TFET is used as an SRAM pass transistor, and reduce the static power consumption of the conventional 7T TFET circuit; in addition, the defect of poor writing capability of the 10T TFET transistor accessed by the combined tube is overcome by using a writing auxiliary technology, and the writing capability and the stability of the SRAM unit are improved.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
