Samsung 512Mb C-die DDR SDRAM Constructional Analysis

This report contains a microstructural analysis of the memory cell and peripheral circuits. Plan-view (P-V) and cross-sectional (X-S) SEM, TEM were conducted to reveal the circuit layout and material architecture of the devices. SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) was used to determine the doping profiles of device formation. The report also contains the package and die photographs, showing the segments of cell array, word line decoder, sense amplifier, I/O circuits, and peripheral circuits.
