Abstract

We demonstrated record 0.37V minimum operation voltage (Vmin) of 2Mb Silicon-on-Thin-Buried-oxide (SOTB) 6T-SRAM. Thanks to the small variability of SOTB (AVT∼1.3 mVμm) and adaptive back biasing (ABB), Vmin was lowered down to ∼0.4 V regardless of temperature. Both fast access time and small standby leakage were achieved by ABB.
