Choice of power-supply voltage for half-micrometer and lowersubmicrometer CMOS devices

The tradeoff between circuit performance and reliability is theoretically and experimentally examined in detail, down to half-micrometer and lower submicrometer gate lengths, taking into account high-field effects on MOSFETs. Some guidelines for optimum power-supply voltage and process/device parameters for half-micrometer and lower submicrometer CMOS devices are proposed in order to maintain MOS device reliability and achieve high circuit performance. It is shown that power-supply voltage must be reduced to maintain reliability and improved performance and that the optimum voltage reduction follows the square root of the design rule. Trends for scaling down power-supply voltage have been experimentally verified by results obtained from measurements on CMOS devices over a wide range of gate oxide thickness (7-45 nm) and gate lengths (0.3-2.0 μm)

Robust FinFET SRAM design based on dynamic back-gate voltage adjustment

In this paper, we propose a robust SRAM design which is based on FinFETs. The design is performed by dynamically adjusting the back-gate voltages of pull-up transistors. For the write operation, we use an extra write driver which sets the desired back-gate voltages during this operation. This approach considerably increases the write margin. During the hold state, the back-gates are precharged to the supply voltage using an extra precharge circuit. This decreases the static power. Finally, we use nMOS switches to provide the optimum back-gate voltages during the read state. To minimize the area and power overheads, an instance of the circuitry is used for each column. The performance of the proposed technique is assessed using mixed mode device/circuit simulations for a physical gate length of 22 nm. The results show that the minimum operating voltage for six-sigma read and write yield is about 0.15 V lower than that of the recently proposed structures. In addition, the suggested SRAM shows significantly higher write margin and lower static power compared to the recently proposed structures. The minimum operating voltage of our proposed structure can be lowered down to 0.5 V through some work function tuning to balance the read and write stability. This minimum voltage is 0.1 V lower than the minimum operating voltage of the other structures with similar work function tunings.

A design methodology for the optimal multiple-field-limiting-ring (FLR) termination structure is proposed. In the methodology, a simple modeling structure is developed to find the so-called BV-spacing curve, from which the optimal structure can be obtained directly without trial and error. The results given by the methodology is in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The applicability of the methodology is also investigated in a wide scope, which shows that the methodology has a very good performance in the medium-voltage-range FLR termination design.

Optimized transformer design: inclusive of high-frequency effects

Switching circuits, operating at high frequencies, have led to considerable reductions in the size of magnetic components and power supplies. Nonsinusoidal voltage and current waveforms and high-frequency skin and proximity effects contribute to power transformer losses. Traditionally, power transformer design has been based on sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms operating at low frequencies. The physical and electrical properties of the transformer form the basis of a new design methodology while taking full account of the current and voltage waveforms and high-frequency effects. Core selection is based on the optimum throughput of energy with minimum losses. The optimum core is found directly from the following transformer specifications: frequency; power output; and temperature rise. The design methodology is illustrated with a detailed design of a push-pull power converter
