Nanometer MOSFET effects on the minimum-energy point of 45nm subthreshold logic
In this paper, we observe that minimum energy Emin of subthreshold logic dramatically increases when reaching 45 nm node. We demonstrate by circuit simulation and analytical model...

Self-calibration technique for reduction of hold failures in low-power nano-scaled SRAM
Increasing source voltage (Source-Biasing) is an efficient technique for reducing gate and sub-threshold leakage of SRAM arrays. However, due to process variation, a higher source...

Statistical Leakage and Timing Optimization for Submicron Process Variation
Leakage power is becoming a dominant contributor to the total power consumption and dual-Vth assignment is an efficient technique to decrease leakage power, for which effective de...

Static Energy Reduction Techniques for Microprocessor Caches
Microprocessor performance has been improved by increasing the capacity of on-chip caches. However, the performance gain comes at the price of increased static energy consumption ...

Why area might reduce power in nanoscale CMOS
— In this paper we explore the relationship between power and area. By exploiting parallelism (and thus using more area) one can reduce the switching frequency allowing a reducti...
