In the past five years the industry has gone from the 9x-nm node through the 7x, 6x, and 5x nodes to the 4x node chips starting to come on the market. 0000011256 00000 n This process variation capability, coupled with a built-in Structure Search/DRC capability, can result in identification of the minimum contact location areas on chip. While working on the coursera course “The Place of Music in 21 century education” I was prompted to make the first web page which is unrelated to my current profession. There is an additional requirement to create a “slit” etch to separate neighboring memory cells. DRAM began out of a desire to speed up SRAM, the previous memory technology of the day. SRAM development, on the other hand, has been driven by cell area and speed, and SRAM doesn’t require refresh cycles to maintain its stored “1’s” and “0’s”.

In the past five years the industry has gone from the 9x-nm node through the 7x, 6x, and 5x nodes to the 4x node chips starting to come on the market. 0000011256 00000 n This process variation capability, coupled with a built-in Structure Search/DRC capability, can result in identification of the minimum contact location areas on chip. While working on the coursera course “The Place of Music in 21 century education” I was prompted to make the first web page which is unrelated to my current profession. There is an additional requirement to create a “slit” etch to separate neighboring memory cells. DRAM began out of a desire to speed up SRAM, the previous memory technology of the day. SRAM development, on the other hand, has been driven by cell area and speed, and SRAM doesn’t require refresh cycles to maintain its stored “1’s” and “0’s”.
