SRAM cell stability will be a primary concern for future technologies due to variability and decreasing power supply voltages. 6T-SRAM can be optimized for stability by choosing the cell layout, device threshold voltages, and the ß ratio. 8T-SRAM, however, provides a much greater enhancement in stability by eliminating cell disturbs during a read access, thus facilitating continued technology scaling. We demonstrate the smallest 6T (0.124µm 2 half-cell) and full 8T (0.1998µm 2 ) cells to date.
Double-gate FinFET devices with asymmetric and symmetric poly-silicon gates have been fabricated. Symmetric gate devices show drain currents competitive with fully optimized bulk silicon technologies. Asymmetric-gate devices show IV,I-O.lV, with off-currents less than 100nA/um at Vgs= 0.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
