Abstract
This paper describes SRAM scaling for 32nm low power bulk technology, enabled by high-K metal gate process, down to 0.149 μm 2 and 0.124μm 2. SRAM access stability and write margin are significantly improved through a 50% Vt mismatch reduction, thanks to HK-MG T invinv scaling. Cell read current is increased by 70% over Poly-SiON process. Ultra dense cell process window is expanded with optimized contact process. A dual-ground write assist option can additionally enable ultra dense 0.124 μm 2 cell to meet low power application requirements.
