Abstract
16M-superSRAM with 0.98 μm2 is developed by existing 0.15 μm DRAM processes. As a result, the standby current and random access time of fabricated 16M-superSRAM are about 0.2 μA/chip and 43 ns at RT. As superSRAM has a cylindrical stacked capacitor at each node, very high tolerance for SER (soft error rate) is expected as compared with conventional 6Tr-SRAMs. By alpha ray irradiated experiments, an SER free feature of superSRAM is confirmed for the first time.
