Built-In Self-Repair for OpenRAM Memories

Incorporating self-repair capabilities to memories is a standard practice to reduce yield loss from hardware defects. OpenRAM is an open-source memory compilation framework that supports the automated generation of Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs). This thesis extends the OpenRAM memory compiler with a built-in self-repair (BISR) feature. The self-repair logic is implemented as a synthesizable Verilog wrapper, and the OpenRAM SRAM is augmented to include extra rows and columns for remapping faulty memory cells
