Abstract(in English) Concordant memory-array design incorporates device fluctuations statistically into signal-to-noise ratio analysis in DRAM. In this design, the effective signal voltage of all cells in a chip is calculated and failed bit count of the chip is estimated. The proposed technique gives us a quantitative evaluation of the memory array design, and analysis of the failed bit is also available. For a case-study, 1.4 V array operation of 100 nm - 1 Gb DRAM is assured. Calculated dependence of failed bit count on the array voltage is in good agreement with experimental results of the 512 Mbit DRAM chip.
