Accelerating RRAM Testing with a Low-cost Computation-in-Memory based DFT

Abstract: Emerging non-volatile resistive RAM (RRAM) device technology has shown great potential to cultivate not only high-density memory storage, but also energy-efficient computing units. However, the unique challenges related to RRAM fabrication process render the traditional memory testing solutions inefficient and inadequate for high product quality. This paper presents low-cost design-for-testability (DFT) solutions that augment the testing process and improve the fault coverage. A computation-in-memory (CIM) bas… Show more

“…Optimizations: Compute operations can be used to speed up testing and increase the detection capabilities. For example, in [21], compute operations are used to detect unique RRAM faults in a more efficient manner than could be achieved using only memory operations. As such, the usage of CIM also gives opportunities to increase test efficiency and fault coverage.…”

“…• Variation: Variation is the deviation of the resistance value of the memristor after programming from the expected resistance value, which can lead to incorrect computations [29][30][31]. Variation happens mainly due to fabrication imperfections and the stochastic nature of underlying physics.…”
