Abstract :
In this paper, we demonstrate that standard cell design methodology can be applied to design vertical slit field effect transistor (VeSFET)-based ASICs with modern CMOS EDA tools. We study a family of VeSFET canvases-chain canvases that improve performance and power consumption of circuits mapped to them compared to circuits implemented with VeSFET canvases composed of isolated transistors. We compare the designs implemented with a commercial low power CMOS library and corresponding VeSFET libraries. VeSFET-based designs demonstrate significant power reduction as compared to the CMOS-based designs at the same performance.
