High-speed low-power circuits fabricated using a submicron NMOS technology

We present results on very high-speed low-power devices and circuits fabricated using a NMOS technology scaled to submicron dimensions. These results illustrate the electrical behavior of single minimum-size devices, and present the performance of several submicron circuits, such as ring oscillators, a 3-GHz divide-by-two counter and a 90- MHz 16 × 16 multiplier.
