Abstract :
This paper addresses the design robustness of CMOS SOI memory cells operating at Ultra-Low-Voltage, ULV. An analytical approach to the stability problem of SRAM cells is presented. The analysis is performed for a 6-transistor and 4-transistor CMOS SOI memory cell based on an analytical subthreshold estimation model.
