Statistical behavior of device leakage and threshold voltage shows a strong width dependency under microscopic random dopant fluctuation. Leakage estimation using the conventional square-root method shows a discrepancy as large as 45% compared to the real case because it fails to model the effective VT shift in the subthreshold region. This paper presents a width-dependent statistical leakage model...
This paper describes an interconnect technique for sub-threshold circuits to improve global wire delay and reduce the delay variation due to PVT fluctuations. By internally boosting the gate voltage of the driver transistors, operating region is shifted from sub-threshold region to super-threshold region enhancing performance and improving tolerance to PVT variations. A clock distribution network...
Although there has been extensive research on controlling leakage power, the fact that leaky transistors can act as a damping element for supply noise has been long ignored or unnoticed in the design community. This paper investigates the leakage induced damping effect that helps suppress the supply noise. By developing physics-based impedance models for active and leakage currents, we show that leakage,...
