Abstract :
Future society requires networking of efficient portable, wearable, implantable IT/electronics and sensors for mobile, healthcare, smart grid and robot services. Power of small terminals operated by batteries or energy harvesting means, obviously need to be reduced. Power of data centers with much more processing capability and storage capacity compared to those now, also need to be reduced. Challenge toward low-voltage and low-power direction is, therefore, becoming increasingly important in future integrated circuits.
