A layout-dependent circuit-design model from Toshiba helps boost gate density and improve cost-performance in next-generation 45-nm CMOS technology. More specifically, 45-nm CMOS gate density can be 2 ...

CMOS technology has dominated the IC business for the last 25 years and will continue to do so for another 25 years, according to the author of CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation. He explains ...

As we all know, the back-end design of layout implementation known as integrated circuit (IC) layout — is simplistically divided into ASIC-style flow and full-custom flow. This article will try to ...

From simple transistors to complex systems, this article explains the building blocks of digital logic design. Learn how ...

Spirea AB is a Swedish fabless semiconductor company developing highly integrated low-power, low-cost radio solutions for the Wireless LAN and PAN markets. This article describes how we assembled a ...

The recent reduction in transistor size using scaling will cause sub-threshold leakage currents to become an increasingly large component of total power dissipation. In this paper, a stack transistor ...

Moreover, the TLR1901GXZ features an exceptionally low input offset voltage of just 0.55mV (max.), ranking among the best in ...

With lithography techniques rapidly approaching 0.10 µm andsmaller, the combination of small device dimensions and high-speeddata rates causes many problems for IC ...

MEMS-based component suppliers want to rapidly ramp their designs into high-volume production. This demand is driving MEMS suppliers to focus on ways to more efficiently re-use established process ...
