High availability systems such as servers, communication gateways and base stations need to be continuously operational. Once installed in the field, software upgrades handle feature enhancements and bug fixes.
For FPGAs to be part of an ultra-reliable design, designers must protect the valid FPGA configuration used for initialization and prevent SRAM corruption during device operation
The authors propose a monolithic-3D (M3D) 6T SRAM at the 2nm node, integrating BEOL IGO pass-gates (PGs) with an all-silicon nanosheet latch, buried power rails (BPRs), and Ru interconnects. TCAD calibrated to a state-of-the-art double-gate IGO transistor with a tri-layer HfO2/ZrO2/HfO2 (HZH) gate stack is combined with virtual fabrication and 3D parasitic extraction to realize the first process-aware layout of this topology.
This paper introduces a timing fragility aware selective hardening methodology for RISCV soft processors implemented on SRAM based FPGAs.
