  • Abstract
    The strategies for technology integration and design methodologies for embedded memory are discussed as well as testing and yield issues. Some examples of current embedded-memory developments in several representative categories are presented. Owing to rapid progress in Si technology, current high-performance system VLSIs can afford a large embedded memory on chip, which provides wide memory bandwidth, dedicated memory architecture for application, small chip count and compact system, and better system speed scalability along with Si-technology scaling
