A novel high-performance TG-based SRAM cell with 5nm FinFET technology

摘要: In this study, we investigate the performance and reliability of a novel static random-access memory (SRAM) cell utilizing advanced 5 nm FinFET technology. Our research aims to address critical challenges in SRAM design by integrating transmission gates and power gated transistors. Through extensive simulations using the Cadence Virtuoso tool, we optimize the SRAM cell's read and write paths, resulting in substantial improvements in both functionalities. Additionally, our study unveils temperature-dependent variations in the read current and write margin, emphasizing the influence of temperature on SRAM performance. Compared to conventional FinFET SRAM circuits of equivalent bit-cell area and read latency, our innovative design showcases remarkable improvements across various parameters. Specifically, we achieve a commendable increase of 6.16% in the write static noise margin (WSNM) and 5.86 …
