Abstract

In this work we show that SRAM cells designed using negative capacitance (NC) based MOSFETs (NCFETs) can offer improved Vmin (minimum supply voltage needed for reliable operation) compared to conventional MOSFET based SRAM. Increased noise margins and reduced variability in NCFETs lead to this lowering of Vmin. For this work we use a modified version of the standard BSIM4 compact model for bulk MOSFETs by coupling it with the Landau-Khalatnikov model of ferroelectrics in a self-consistent manner, while the statistical variability information of the reference device is extracted from 3D statistical TCAD simulations.
