Flying-BL enabled hierarchical SRAM arrays
Internship/thesis - Leuven | Just now
This MSc project will investigate the design, modelling, and architectural evaluation of hierarchical SRAM arrays. As CMOS 2.0 pushes toward heterogeneous, functionally distributed system architectures, augmenting conventional silicon SRAM structures, enabling improved density, energy efficiency, and thermal spreading becomes mandatory. The work will focus on the co optimization between device characteristics and the underlying bitcell organization, reshaping the hierarchical memory organization. A central aspect of the project is the adaptation of conventional SRAM bitcell and peripheral circuits—including write drivers, sense amplifiers, wordline/bitline structures, and hierarchical sub array arrangements—to operate robustly with the new hierarchy.
