The overlap between N-drift region and metal gate (Lw) has a crucial impact on the breakdown voltage, Idlin, and Ron. The BVDS is 4% lower, and Ron reduced about 15% for 1x channel length device at Lw=1.8x than Lw=1x. Idoff is increased with the increase of Lw. The BVDS, Idoff, and Idlin degradation caused by hot carrier injection (HCI) are also investigated by the different overlap length of P-type well and N-drift region (Lo).

In this work, we study the impact of HCA on RTN amplitude. It is found that for devices of average RTN, HCA only has a limited effect on RTN. For devices of abnormally high RTN, however, HCA can substantially reduce the RTN.

However, the implementations of inversion in some nanotechnologies are expensive than the other logical operations. Therefore, the inversions optimization is of paramount interest for high-performance nanotechnology circuit design. Recently, XOR-Majority Graphs (XMGs) are used as logic representations for advanced logic synthesis. To this end, we propose an XMG optimization technique to rewrite the complemented edges while not changing its shape. The optimizations consider both majority-of-three (MAJ) nodes and exclusive-OR (XOR) nodes by using inverter propagations. The experimental results on EPFL benchmark suites show our method can achieve an average reduction of 17.3% number of inversions, which brings up to 9.8% area improvement for the implementation using Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) circuits.","PeriodicalId":113297,"journal":{"name":"2019 China Semiconductor Technology International Conference (CSTIC)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126356669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large SRAM arrays are widely used as cache memory in electric industries and can be applied to monitor process quality and stability in manufacture process. The device performance of single device in SRAM 6T cell determined whether a SRAM cell can function, and seriously influenced the read/write margin of it. As the single device in SRAM 6T cell up against complicated layout surroundings, their performance is largely independent of the neighborhood environment.

This paper explores the activation failure of DRAM caused by BTI effect in 3D stacked system which degrades circuit functionality over time.
