Carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) are the best alternative option for the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) in the ultra-deep submicron (ultra-DSM) regime. CNTFET has numerous benefits such as lower off-state current, high current density, low bias potential and better transport property as compared to MOSFET. A rolled graphene sheet-based cylindrical tube is constructed in the channel region of the CNTFET structure. In this paper, an improved domino logic (IDL) configuration is proposed for domino logic circuits to improve the different performance metrics. An extensive comparative simulation analysis is provided for the different performance metrics for different circuits to verify the novelty of the proposed IDL approach. The IDL approach saves the leakage power dissipation by 95.61% and enhances the speed by 87.10% for the 4-bit full adder circuit as compared to the best reported available domino method. The effects of the number of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), temperature, and power supply voltage variations are estimated for leakage power dissipation for the 16-input OR (OR16) gate. The reliability of different performance metrics for different circuit is calculated in terms of uncertainty by running the Monte Carlo simulations for 500 samples. Stanford University’s 32[Formula: see text]nm CNTFET model is applied for circuit simulations.

Since the last two decades, the trend of device miniaturization has increased to get better performance with a smaller area of the logic functions. In deep submicron regime, the demand of fabrication of nanoscale Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) VLSI circuits has increased due to evaluation of modern successful portable systems. Leakage power dissipation and reliability issues are major concerns in deep submicron regime for VLSI chip designers. Power supply voltage has been scaled down to maintain the performance yield in future deep submicron regime. The threshold voltage is the critical parameter to trade-off the performance yield and leakage power dissipation in nanoscaled devices. Low threshold voltage improves the device characteristics with large leakage power in nanoscaled devices. Several leakage reduction techniques at different levels are used to mitigate the leakage power dissipation. Lower leakage power increases the reliability by reducing the cooling cost of the portable systems. In this article, we are presenting the explanatory general review of the commonly used leakage reduction techniques at circuit level. We have analyzed the NAND3 gate using HSPICE EDA tool for leakage power dissipation at different technology nodes in active as well as standby modes. Process, voltage and temperature effects are checked for reliability purpose. Our comparative results and discussion of different leakage reduction techniques are very useful to illustrate the effective technique in active and standby modes.

Background: With the reducing size of the devices, the leakage power has also increased exponentially in the nano-scale CMOS devices. Several techniques have been devised so far to minimize the leakage power, among which, MTCMOS (power-gating) is the preferred one as it effectively minimizes the leakage power without any complexity in the circuit. However, the power-gating technique suffers from problems like transition noise and delay. In this paper, we proposed a new simple yet effective technique to minimize leakage power in MTCMOS circuits. Objective: The objective of the paper was to propose a new technique which effectively minimizes leakage power in nanoscale power-gated circuits with minimal delay, noise and area requirement so that it can well be implemented in high-speed low-power digital integrated circuits. Methods: A new power-gating structure has been proposed in this paper. The new proposed technique includes three parallel NMOS transistors with variable widths which are functional during the active mode to reduce the on-time delay. A PMOS footer with gate-bias is also connected in parallel with the NMOS footer transistors. The proposed technique has been verified through simulation in 45nm MTCMOS technology to implement a 32 bit adder circuit. Results: The proposed technique offers significant reduction in leakage power, reactivation noise and reactivation energy. The technique reduced the leakage power effectively at room temperature as well as higher temperatures. The reactivation noise produced by the proposed technique minimized by 98.7%, 64.8%, 62.07% and 24.47% as compared to the parallel transistor, variable-width, charge-recycling and the modified-charge recycling techniques respectively at room temperature.The reactivation energy of the proposed technique also minimized by 77.by 77.67%, 55.8%, 45.1%, and 18.32% with respect to the parallel transistor, variable-width, CR and Modified-CR techniques, respectively. Conclusion: The proposed technique offers significant reduction in leakage power, reactivation noise and reactivation energy. The technique reduces the leakage power effectively at room temperature as well as at higher temperatures. Since the delay and area overhead of the proposed structure is minimal, hence it can be easily implemented in high-speed low-power digital circuits.


The circuit changes the threshold voltage effectively with a definite delay and power by altering the body biasing of the transistors. The body bias is employed to govern the frequency and leakage of the memory device. The threshold voltage of individual transistor is decreases by applying the reverse body bias (RBB) and increases with forward body bias (FBB). This paper presents the viability of RBB to decrease the leakage power and increase in the speed of operations for SRAM circuit. The investigation of RBB dependencies on various performance parameters are analyzed. It is observed that the leakage power improves by 30.32% on applying RBB voltage compared to zero body bias while the transient power increases by 3.22% but decrease of delay by 84.56% dominates on it. Because of this the overall energy consumption reduces by 84.06%. Further the simulation work is carried out to see effect of supply voltage variation on leakage power at different RBB voltage and temperature. Therefore, the RBB scheme is beneficial for devices of low leakage, low energy and high speed of operation but this RBB voltage is limited by band-to-band tunneling current.

Excessive scaling of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology is the main reason of large power dissipation in electronic circuits. Very large-scale integration (VLSI) industry has chosen an alternative option known as fin-shaped field effect transistor (FinFET) technology to mitigate the large power dissipation. FinFET is a multi-gate transistor which dissipates less leakage power as compared to CMOS transistors, but it does not completely resolve the problem of power dissipation. So, leakage reduction approaches are always required to mitigate the impact of power dissipation. In this paper, cascaded leakage control transistors (CLCT) leakage reduction technique is proposed using FinFET transistors. CLCT approach is tested for basic static logic circuits like inverter, 2-input NAND and NOR gates and compared with the existing leakage reduction techniques for leakage power dissipation and delay calculations at 16 and 14 nm technology nodes using Cadence tools. CLCT approach shows the effective reduction of leakage power with minimum delay penalty. As the domino logic gates are widely used in large memories and high-speed processors therefore, CLCT approach is further utilized for footless domino logic (FLDL) and compared with the available methods at 14[Formula: see text]nm technology node. CLCT approach reduces 35.16% power dissipation as compared to the conventional domino OR logic. Temperature and multiple parallel fin variations are estimated for the domino OR logic to check its reliable operation. CLCT approach has high-noise tolerance capability in term of unity noise gain (UNG) for domino OR logic as compared to the other methods.
