Popis: In this paper a CMOS technology that is optimum for low voltage (in the I-volt range) applications is presented. Thin but undepleted SOI is used as the substrate, which gives low junction capacitance and no body effect. Furthermore floating body effects causes a reduction of subthreshold slope at high drain bias. This lowers the high-V/sub DS/ threshold to be used, which increases the current drive without significant increase in the off-current. This technology was applied to a high performance 512 Kb SRAM. Access time of 3.5 ns at 1 V was obtained. >
