  • Abstract
    Scaling to nano scale CMOS has provided high density SRAM. Reduced cell area and increased density has created problem of standby leakage. Scaled down SRAM cell has more leakage and at high temperature it creates serious power issues. Application of leakage reduction methods generally lowers rail-to-rail voltage and hence reducing the stability of the cell. Reduction in cell node capacitance further increases the problem of soft errors
