Abstract
The SRAM has a very constrained cell area and is consequently sensitive to the intrinsic parameter fluctuations ubiquitous in decananometer scale MOSFETs. Using a statistical circuit simulation methodology, which can fully collate intrinsic parameter fluctuation information into compact model sets, the impact of random device doping on 6-T SRAM static noise margins, and read and write characteristics are investigated in detail for well-scaled 35 nm physical gate length devices. We conclude that intrinsic parameter fluctuations will become a major limitation to further conventional MOSFET SRAM scaling.Keywords
