METHODS, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR GLOBAL HEALING OF WRITE-LIMITED DIE THROUGH BIAS TEMPERATURE INSTABILITY

摘要

We disclose methods, apparatus, and systems for improving semiconductor device writeability through bias temperature instability. Such a device may comprise a plurality of cells of an array, wherein each of the cells comprises a pass gate and a latch; a plurality of word lines, wherein each word line comprises a supply voltage line (VCS) which supplies voltage to each latch of a first number of cells; an array VCS driver electrically connected to each VCS; and a control line configured to provide an operational array supply voltage, a first array supply voltage, or a second array supply voltage to each VCS through the array VCS driver.
