            Abstract : 
The challenges for ultra-low-voltage operation are reviewed from the device side. The degradations of transistor variability and subthreshold swing are the main obstacles for the ultra-low-voltage operation. A new transistor structure with fully-depleted channel is discussed as a possible solution.
