  • Abstract
    An SRAM design in a 3D 0.18 m silicon-on-insulator technology is presented. A novel delay-locked loop based access time measurement circuit was designed on-chip for accurately evaluating the 3D SRAM performance. Results show that a 32 improvement in the access time is gained by using 3D technology.
