With the existing technology and survey it indicates the increasing the number of transistors count and exploring methodologies leads to innovative design in memories. In general SRAM occupies considerable amount of area and less performance due to leakage power that limits the operation under sub threshold region. The power consumption of the circuit design is primarily depends on the switching activity of the transistor that leads to increasing of leakage current at near or subthreshold operation. Some of the challenges like PVT variations, SEU, SEE, and RDF lead to reduction in performance, increasing the power, BTI, sizing, delay and yield. The research work in this paper primarily describes the challenges with the technology and effects on CMOS & Finfet designs. The second aspect of the paper is to represents the design methodologies of CMOS & FinFET models and its operation. The third part of the paper explains design tradeoff of FinFET SRAM. Final sections present a comparison of high performance, low power at normal and near threshold operation. The Comparisons is made on the basis of process parameters and made a conclusion with circuit functionality, reliability under different technologies. FinFET based SRAM’s are the emerging memory trends by the performance under or near sub-threshold operation with the minimal variation in the leakage current, minimal gate delay is an alternate solution to the traditional CMOS memory designs as showed in the present work.

This paper shows that a conventional semi-custom design-flow based on a energy efficient adiabatic logic (EEAL) cell library allows any VLSI designer to design and verify complex adiabatic arithmetic units in a simple way, thus, enjoying the energy reduction benefits of adiabatic logic. A family of semi-custom EEAL-based 32-bit carry-lookahead adder (CLA) has been designed in a TSMC 90-nm CMOS process technology and verified by CADENCE Design suite. Differential cascode voltage swing (DCVS) logic has been used to implement the newly proposed EEAL and it uses only a sinusoidal clock supply to ensure correct operation. Post-layout simulations show that semi-custom adiabatic arithmetic units can save significant amount of energy, as compared to the previously reported single clocked adiabatic logic and logically equivalent static CMOS implementation. Extensive CADENCE simulations have been done for the verification of the functionality of the proposed logic structure.

In ultra-Low power application the supply volt- age in the circuit is as minimum as possible to correct perform the operation. Reducing the supply voltage below the threshold Voltage of transistor is known as sub threshold voltage that affects the delay as well as stability parameter of the Circuit. In this paper body biased technique is applied at standard 6T SRAM which improve the static Current Noise Margin(SINM) and Write trip Current by the factor of 4.15 times and 4.7 times respectively from the Conventional (conv) 6T SRAM. SINM defined the read stability whereas WTI are write ability Parameters of the circuit. In the Sub threshold region delay parameter of the circuit increased, but in this paper delay and power of the proposed circuit are going to be degrades 2.34 times and 4.39 times from the conv. 6T SRAM at different Process Corner i.e. the Performance of the device get increased. In this paper conventional (Conv.)6T and Proposed(PP) 6T both have same W/L ratio at supply voltage of 400mv


Emphasis in VLSI design has shifted from high speed to low power due to the proliferation of portable electronic systems. The continuing decrease in feature size and corresponding increase in chip density and operating frequency have made power consumption as a prime concern in VLSI design. For ultra low power applications, the idea of self cascode positive feedback adiabatic logic (SC-PFAL) has reported as a promising candidate to reduce power dissipation at low operating frequency. To enhance the energy efficiency of the logic circuits, self cascoding of transistor is applied to charge recovery logic working in sub-threshold region. Based on this proposed technique, we design a basic MOS digital library cell. Simulation results are found using 70nm technology model file available from predictive technologies. At low clock frequency, the proposed logic i.e. SC-PFAL has significant improvement in terms of energy consumption than original PFAL.
