Abstract

In a memory core a method and apparatus for replacing global I/O lines associated with a defective column in a memory sub-array with global I/O lines not associated with such a defect. To improve yield of a memory device such as a DRAM, the device typically employs spare elements which can replace defective elements. In this invention, to reduce the die area consumed for spare elements, the global I/O line is chosen as the replaceable element. The bit position of a defective global I/O line within a bus of global I/O lines is determined. According to whether a particular column has a defect and for each normal global I/O line with a defective column, the global I/O line is replaced with an adjacent non-defective global I/O line. At the end bit position a spare non-defective global I/O line is introduced to complete the bus. The number of defective global I/O lines that may be removed from the bus is the same as the number of spare non-defective I/O lines available to fill in the missing bit positions at the end of the bus.

Description of the Invention (I) [Background of the Invention] The present invention relates to a memory device, and particularly to a redundant I / 0 line. Semi-equal DRAM is generally composed of columns and rows. The capacitors near the crossings of the columns store the charge (representing the data to be stored), and the capacitors are switched to the row line to receive the charge or discharge the charge when the row line is received. The column and row lines are selected to facilitate the extraction and writing of specific capacitors by the column and row decoders. Sometimes lines or related components cause many defects, such as the grid itself or the sense amplifier. For this reason, D RAM usually contains redundant (spare) rows * which includes the provision of additional memory components and row circuits. The additional memory banks and redundant decoders needed to access the memory skull instead of defective rows use useful semi-equal chips and reduce memory efficiency. Larger memories are generally sub-arrays subdivided into columns and rows. Earlier memories physically set up a sub-array * on each side of a row of the decoder array, and the row decoder accessed the rows in each adjacent sub-array. The memory is divided into blocks, and each block is composed of two sub-arrays on both sides of the row decoder. Redundant row and row decoders are provided at positions normally located at one end of each block. The address of a defective row must be exhausted to a redundant decoder * to enable a redundant row when the address of a defective row is received. The defective row decoder is also disabled by M using the output of the redundant decoder in the electrical mode, or by having a partial safe-haven method on the M entity.

Description of the invention (>) There may be 2 bits in a 1 M bit DRAM, each block includes-a dedicated array of Y decoders with 2 redundant decoders * each block has two arrays , Each Y decoder has 2 outputs * and each array has 2 data buses. The redundant columns and / or redundant rows of the memory cells are set to replace the defective main memory array columns and / or rows found during testing (such as wafer sorting). In general, the redundant columns and / or redundant rows have an initially unspecified address M and a redundant decoder coupled thereto. The redundant decoder is programmable, and M matches the addresses of the columns and / or rows identified as defective. The defective columns and / or rows are then disabled. During operation > When performing a memory fetch or write cycle, access to these defective columns and / or rows can be prevented * and redundant decoders only respond to these defective columns and / or rows The address of the (or) row * thus effectively replaces the defective column and / or row with the redundant column and / or row. The redundant column and / or row is sometimes referred to as the spare column and ( Or) OK. A typical implementation of a programmable redundant decoder is a one-bit decoder, where a polycrystalline silicon fusible link (ie, insurance green) is a bit line connected to a column or row address element weigher Depending on whether the redundant decoder is a redundant column or a redundant row. In order to plan a redundant decoder with a row or column address of a memory cell with a defective memory cell *, the selected person in 绦 is switched off / off. • For example, with the help of a laser.

Improved use of connected redundant spare lines. Therefore, * each line does not need to choose from the line group side-the spare line path, but only the supplementary media K connected to its neighbor is allowed to replace. In another embodiment, 'a plurality of adjacent lines may be interconnected, and M allows a shift operation of the two lines in the case where it is necessary to replace two defective media. By using a shift register or other circuit to perform a similar function, I / O lines can be connected in the usual way when addressing non-defective line areas. When addressing a defective area, the output can be shifted from the test circle to the reading or writing of the defective area (generally * a defective memory cell or sense amplifier connected to the line is defective By). In a preferred embodiment, the spare global I / 0 line is connected to only two sense amplifiers, each sense amplifier being on each side of the cluster. Two spare row selection lines are selected between the two sense amplifiers. The present invention does not need a spare line of each sister line connected to the same global I / 0 line, but only a group of spare lines of a special global I / 0 line. In one embodiment of the present invention, only 1/16 spare rows are required.

Description of the invention (;;) The regional advantages are obvious. It does not need a spare line connected to each group of rows of the same global I / 〇 line, but only a sister spare line to be used for a special global I / 〇 line. For example * only 1/1 6 spare line is required (other implementations will get different savings) 〇 The shift design produces 34 spare I / 0 line spare lines * of which only 32 spare lines are required. For the redundancy to be operated, the path M of the spare 1/0 line must be selected to replace the defective I / O line where needed. The connection between the I / O amplifier and the data shift register is shown in Figure 6. The fourth and fifth figures illustrate the shifts for single shift and double shift respectively. The fourth figure shows multiple I / O lines 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53. In the example S shown, an I / O line 45 is disabled, or the connected circuit is disabled. Spare lines are 5 1 and 53. The I / 0 lines are shown as having a corresponding output punch 4P, 43y, 45 ', 47 /, 49'. In the example shown, the I / 0 lines 4 1 and 43 are connected to their opposing output punches 4 1 ′ and 4 3 ′. However > Failed lines 4 5 are not connected.

Invention Description (涔) In the example shown in the fifth figure, there is a failure on lines 37 and 43. Therefore, it can be seen that the lines 33 and 35 have not been shifted at all. The lines 39, 41 are shifted to the Yuan punches 37 'and 39'. Since line 4 3 is ineffective • The remaining lines 45, 47, 49 have been moved through two punch positions. Finally, as mentioned before, the redundant lines 51, 53 connected to the output stage street 47 ', 49' are used. The shifting operation and the new connection can be performed in different ways at any time. When a defect is detected * the fuse can be blown to re-route and move the conductor, thus effectively storing defect data. Or * can use a memory that stores defect location * which dynamically shifts a spare line to the I / media when accessing a defective I / 0 line, thereby having a dynamic shift that uses the stored incorrect data . In this implementation * an insurance gate can be used * without using insurance dodge, which has an input terminal from memory at an appropriate position in the memory. Defects can occur in multiple locations. For example, | defects can occur in the cell itself, in the line, or in the I / O line. If the defect is in the first two, then the shift operation depends on whether the line being accessed is defective. If the defect is in the I / 0 line, the shift operation will always occur. The sixth figure shows global I / 0 lines 38M and spare global I / 0 lines 56 and 58. These I / O lines are provided to 1/020 of a fetch / write (R / W) amplifier 60 and a spare I / O amplifier 62. It provides four shift registers 6Λ, 66, 68, 70, K and a 2-bit crowd shift register 72.

Description of the invention (7) Input to the I / 〇 amplifier and the integrated circuit connected to line 74 I / 0 pads. During normal operation • The I / O line 76, which is connected to the shift register 64 for bits 0: 7, is connected via the 8-bit shift register 64¾, without shifting. However, when a defective DRAM area is addressed, the shift register is controlled to shift the I / O line. For example, if bit line 6 is defective, it will be disabled * bit line to its position * and bit line 8 from line 7 8 from the next sister will be moved in. All remaining lines will also be shifted, with one spare line moving in at the end of one of the lines 80. If another defective line is encountered in the same addressing area (same line), all positions need a second shift to the right of the second defective line, where Move in two spare lines. Except for the rightmost shift register bit, all the shift register bits are connected to two signals; the grab-and-write data (RWD) line directly above and the RWD line on the right.

Description of the invention (i U, (please read the precautions on the back of this page first) ^ This page) In order to replace one of the I / 0 lines at the bit position m to specify the row address, the spare I / 0 selector program should Address. For all fuses where j is greater than or equal to m, F 0 < j > $ F i < j > is also a rule. This will cause the I / 0 line to reach the left side of m to be normally soiled • The right I / 0 line is shifted to the left by 1. The I / O line m itself is not used for this row address. The implementation on K is an example of the basic concept of redundancy. There are many possible changes to the concept of redundancy, Some of them will be described in this section. In the example of S shown in the figure, the I / O lines are separated into 32 one-sister K for redundancy. To achieve the best efficiency, I / O of these sisters can also be increased. The number of lines * or to achieve excellent flexibility can also reduce the number of I / 0 media for these groups, which depends on the expected bit failure pattern. The shift register used in the example of the drawing is not It is permissible to replace two 1/0 lines for the same row address (SP0 and SPi must be used in different rows). An implementation to achieve this is possible; each meta position must be Supports shifting by 1 or 2. It is required that η—1 fuse (31 in the example) be used to indicate the implementation of the printing and gathering of the Bayer Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to indicate which I / 0 line will be replaced. Similarly The message can be encoded in the log (nl) fuse. • If the fuse area is high, there is an additional logic to convert the binary position value to the required thermometer code. Those who know this technology should understand The invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and inherent characteristics of the invention. For example, the redundant design of the shift operation of the invention can be applied not only to global I / 0 media, but also to sub-arrays Line, or word line.
