SIMULATION / SA-MEM-SRAM-VARIATION-COVERAGE-060

SRAM variation and corner coverage
SRAM Variation Coverage

Separate what moved from what was missing. Inspect fixed condition, lot, wafer, spatial, local-mismatch, noise, and coverage effects before interpreting an SRAM margin proxy.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Hold the fixed condition and switch among lot-, wafer-, spatial-, local-, and noise-dominant presets.
  • Compare pooled-total, common-set, all-valid, and condition-matched views while watching every denominator.
  • Inspect PD/PG/PU direction coefficients, covariance remainder, and why a fixed corner is not automatically a sigma.

SYNTHETIC HIERARCHY LAB / V128

Separate what moved from what was missing.

A known-ground-truth condition-lot-wafer-site hierarchy keeps variance, coverage, and uncertainty denominators in the same ledger.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The browser generates a known-truth synthetic hierarchy in the current tab. It does not load production rows, expose a PDK, map fixed corners to sigma, predict yield, or provide signoff.

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Condition is a fixed synthetic direction; wafer is nested in lot, site in wafer, and replicate in cell-condition.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Total variance closes through six diagonal component variances plus every pairwise covariance term.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Common-set and all-valid views use distinct, always-visible denominators; missing values never become zero.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

Every row, condition, component, strength, margin value, missingness flag, and distribution is deterministic synthetic teaching data.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

The balanced hierarchy and orthogonalized fields are designed for interpretability; they are not a foundry sampling plan or covariance model.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

The four fixed conditions are deliberate directions, not sampled tails, PDK corners, or sigma equivalents.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

PD, PG, and PU strengths and the read, write, and inverter-skew values are linear original proxies with arbitrary visible coefficients and no calibration.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

The first-order sigma uncertainty reference assumes iid normal observations; nested and repeated rows are not independently sampled.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Finite subsets and missingness can create component covariance, so diagonal component variances alone need not equal total variance.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

The lab cannot establish physical causality, statistical representativeness, measurement adequacy, process capability, Vmin, failure probability, array yield, recipe transfer, qualification, signoff, or production readiness.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Researcher-facing businesses remain deferred to a separately verified V200 contract.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

Every row retains its exact generated contribution ledger and deterministic digest.

SA-MEM-SRAM-VARIATION-COVERAGE-060

evidence note

The sigma uncertainty reference is iid-normal only; hierarchical rows are not all independent.

Five measured-replacement slots state what is required before a physical, yield, or signoff claim.
