The presented bitcell achieves a faster access time by increasing the read current by 21% compared to a 6T bitcell. The proposed 8T bitcell utilizes a differential operation, single port and one wordline, therefore, it does not require any architectural changes from 6T SRAM architectures. Moreover, the effects of process-induced VTH variations in multi-threshold 8T bitcells are examined and it is shown that the choice for the best dual-threshold configuration of the proposed 8T bitcell varies due to trade-offs between access time, leakage-power and read/write stability under process variations. In addition, timing variations of the sense \"amplifier enable signal\" due to random process variations is reduced by using a Multi Replica Bitline Delay technique to decrease SRAM read access time.

Regarding the OFF-state region, it is found that the substrate current plays an important role at room temperature and for long channels. It decreases up to three orders of magnitude from room temperature down to 200 K, as long as the p-n junction reverse current from the drain to bulk dominates the substrate current.","PeriodicalId":145660,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE SOI-3D-Subthreshold Microelectronics Technology Unified Conference (S3S)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127634880","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}

The influence of Indium/Gallium composition and Zn diffusion temperature is analyzed. For a higher Indium amount (In0.7Ga0.3As compared to In0.53Ga0.47As) the band to band tunneling (BTBT) is improved due to bandgap narrowing. A higher Zn diffusion temperature gives rise to a higher source doping, resulting in a smaller tunneling length, which also increases BTBT. In both devices the intrinsic voltage gain is improved. One interesting characteristic of these devices is that they present good analog performance at low voltages (VGS=VDS=0.6V), which is promising for low power/low voltage analog applications. High-temperature operation increases in all cases more the output conductance than the transconductance, resulting in a lower intrinsic voltage gain.","PeriodicalId":145660,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE SOI-3D-Subthreshold Microelectronics Technology Unified Conference (S3S)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128251354","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}
