Abstract :
This work highlights the realization and 0.248μm2 to 0.334μm2 SRAM bit-cells with conventional bulk technology based on 19Å CET SiON gate oxide, poly-silicon gate electrode, and mobility enhancement techniques for both nMOS and pMOS. High density critical lithography levels have been exposed with e-beam direct writing thus contributing to the overall cost-effectiveness of the technology.
