In this paper, using the new generation of MASTAR software we discuss the CMOS logic roadmap in terms of circuit performance, power dissipation and variability, such as loaded ring-oscillator delay as well as through 6T-SRAM functionality. It is shown that these criteria will have to be taken into account in addition to the traditional 17%/year delay improvement to construct a new industrially viable roadmap.
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.
