SRAM cell performance analysis beyond 10-nm FinFET technology

Abstract

This paper describes the performance analysis of SRAM cell capability beyond 10-nm FinFET technology. Through the circuit simulation with a pseudo memory macro, optimized SRAM cell can demonstrate almost the same performance of traditional metal architecture though the read-out delay analysis. Comparing between HD (High-Density) and HC (High-Current) cell, HD cell shows better performance in the large array macro due to the less parasitic resistance and capacitance.
