Non-Destructive Metrology Techniques For Measuring Hole Profile In DRAM Storage Node
By Onto Innovation - 09 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

DRAM storage node profile measurement during high aspect ratio (HAR) etch has been one of the most challenging metrology steps. DRAM storage node profile affects refresh time and device electric quality. So, controlling this profile is one of the key challenges. Conventional 3D modeling in Optical Critical Dimension (OCD) metrology has typically used multiple cylinder stacks. This method cannot... » read more

The Power of Memory in Camera Monitor Systems
By Winbond - 03 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 1.19 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. The challenge automakers have is deciding what types of cameras or sensors to implement to help prevent accidents, and making sure they meet various regulations. Camera monitoring systems or (CMS) represent a significant milestone in the ongoing evolution of automo... » read more

While they both serve as essential components in various electronic devices, they differ significantly in terms of structure, functionality, and use cases. In this blog post, we will explore the fundamental differences between NOR flash and NAND flash. ... » read more

The Rising Price Of Power In Chips
By Ed Sperling - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Power is everything when it comes to processing and storing data, and much of it isn't good. Power-related issues, particularly heat, dominate chip and system designs today, and those issues are widening and multiplying. Transistor density has reached a point where these tiny digital switches are generating more heat than can be removed through traditional means. That may sound manageable e... » read more

Securing DRAM Against Evolving Rowhammer Threats
By Aharon Etengoff - 07 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Advanced process nodes and higher silicon densities are heightening DRAM's susceptibility to Rowhammer attacks, as reduced cell spacing significantly decreases the hammer count needed for bit flips. Rowhammer exploits DRAM’s single-capacitor-per-bit design to trigger bit flips in adjacent cells through repeated memory row accesses. This vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate data, re... » read more
