Nanometer circuits are highly susceptible to soft errors generated by alpha-particle or atmospheric neutron strikes to circuit nodes. The reasons for the high susceptibility are t...
— Direct tunneling current is the major component of static power dissipation of a CMOS circuit for technology below 65nm, where the gate dielectric (SiO2) is very low. We intuit...

In this paper, we present a new approach to the problem of inverter elimination in domino logic synthesis. A small piece of static CMOS logic is introduced to the circuit to avoid...
FinFET devices promise to replace traditional MOSFETs because of superior ability in controlling leakage and minimizing short channel effects while delivering a strong drive curre...
