Abstract

This paper describes 256k (256K ${\times}$1) CMOS SRAM utilizing 1.2um double-polysilicon and double-metal CMOS process. A typical access time of 16ns with a 30-pF load has been achieved through the use of a block architecture, a new decoder, an unique bit-line scheme and an optimized process. Operating current is 55mA at 40MHz and 15mA at 10MHz. A high-resistive polysilicon load has been used to achieve a standby current of 3uA.
