Adaptive ECC for Tailored Protection of Nanoscale Memory

Following technology scaling, runtime failure has emerged as one of the major challenges in modern VLSI designs under the increased parametric variability and low supply voltage. This issue is especially severe in nanoscale memory due to its high density and large capacity. In this work the authors present a novel reconfigurable Error Correction Code (ECC) to improve the reliability of nanoscale memory.
