Abstract
This paper presents SRAM write- and performance-assist cells that have bit-cell compatible layouts and thus can be inserted into an bit-cell array without the white space. The proposed cells can effectively resolve the degradation in write-ability and performance caused by the interconnect resistance increased with technology scaling.
