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 ...

A schematic diagram is not a detailed blueprint of an analog circuit; instead, it’s more like architectural sketch of the circuit. Look at any schematic for a CMOS analog IC circuit and you will see ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new technical paper titled “Efficient and Scalable Post-Layout Optimization for Field-coupled Nanotechnologies” was published by researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). “As ...
