Yield Optimization Technique for Three Dimensional Memory Based on Redundancy Sharing Among Adjacent Layers
Memory dies stacking strategy and redundancy sharing structure have great effects on the yield of three-dimensional (3D) memory. To improve 3D memory yield and reduce the number of TSVs consumed by row and column redundancies
this paper proposed a redundancy sharing structure among adjacent layers. In the proposed sharing structure
the redundancies in each layer not only can be used to repair the faults in the layer where the redundancies reside
but also can be utilized by adjacent layers. On the basis of this proposed structure
a new die-stacking strategy is presented. Through formularized selection conditions for memory dies
the presented strategy can choose suitable memory dies to stack 3D memory. In this way
the row and column redundancies are fully used. Experimental results illustrate the proposed redundancy sharing structure and die-stacking strategy can effectively improve 3D memory yield and reduce the number of TSVs consumed by spare rows and columns.
