A new sense amplifier (SA) and relevant circuits were proposed for low-power, high-speed, and small-sized 0.5-V gigabit DRAM arrays. The SA, consisting of a low-VT NMOS preamplifier and a cross-coupled high-VT PMOS latch, achieved 46% area reduction compared to our previously proposed SA with a low-VT CMOS preamplifier. Separation of the SA and a data-line pair, and overdrive of the latch achieved...
The Vmins of logic, SRAM, and DRAM blocks were compared with a newly proposed methodology for evaluating Vmin based on speed variations, taking repair techniques into account. State-of-the-art 6T SRAM cells were then discussed in terms of Vmin and cell size. After that, many adaptive circuits and relevant technologies needed to break the 1V wall were proposed and evaluated, while taking the interconnect...
The minimum operating voltage (Vmin) of nano-scale LSIs is investigated, focusing on logic gates, SRAM cells, and DRAM sense amplifiers in LSIs. The Vmin that is governed by SRAM cells rapidly increases as devices are miniaturized due to the ever-larger variation of the threshold voltage (VT) of MOSFETs. The Vmin, however, is reduced to the sub-one-volt region by using repair techniques and new MOSFETs...

The low-voltage limitations of memory-rich nano-scale CMOS LSIs using bulk CMOS and fully-depleted (FD) SOI devices are described, focusing on CMOS inverter and flip-flop circuits such as six-transistor (6-T) cells in SRAMs and sense amplifiers in DRAMs. The limitations strongly depend on the ever-larger VT variation, especially in SRAM cells and logic gates, and are improved by using the FD-SOI as...
