In this paper, novel hybrid MOSFET(HMOS) structure has been proposed to reduce the gate leakage current drastically. This novel hybrid MOSFET (HMOS) uses source/drain-to-gate non-overlap region in combination with high-K layer/interfacial oxide as gate stack. The extended S/D in the non-overlap region is induced by fringing gate electric field through the high-k dielectric spacer. The gate leak...

Static power consumption is nowadays a crucial design parameter in digital circuits due to emergent mobile products. Leakage currents, the main responsible for static power dissipation during idle mode, are increasing dramatically in sub-100nm processes. Subthershold leakage rises due to threshold voltage scaling while gate leakage current increases due to scaling of oxide thickness. It means t...

In this paper, a numerical study of barrier characterization effects on the high-temperature internal performance of an InGaAsP multi-quantum well laser is presented. The softwareused for this purpose self-consistently combines the three-dimensional simulation of carrier transports, self-heating, and optical waveguiding. The laser model calculates all relevant physical mechanisms, including the...

The defect-free IDDQ has two major components: (i) the reverse biased p-n junction leakage current, and (ii) the transistor sub-threshold leakage (off) current. The reverse biased p-n junction leakage current can be further divided into two segments: state dependent, and state independent. The state dependent component p-n junction leakage current depends on the reverse biasing of the p-n junct...

Leakage current is an important qualitative metric of LSI (Large Scale Integrated circuit). In this paper, we focus on reduction of leakage current variation under the process variation. Firstly, we derive a set of quadratic equations to evaluate delay and leakage current under the process variation. Using these equations, we discuss the cases of varying leakage current without degrading delay ...

abstract radionuclide cisternography (rnc) is of potential value in pointing out the sites of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih). in the current report, we present two patients who underwent rnc for suspected csf leakage. both patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and rnc for evaluation. we describe a simple method to incr...

Limited energy consumption in multimedia requires very low power circuits. In this paper we focused on leakage current minimization in single static random access memory (SRAM) cell in 90nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The leakage current mainly consists of sub threshold leakage current and gate leakage current in 90nm CMOS technology. So minimizing the sub thresho...
