A Comparative Analysis of FinFET Based SRAM Design (original) (raw)

International Journal of Electrical and Electronics Research

Abstract

FinFETs are widely used as efficient alternatives to the single gate general transistor in technology scaling because of their narrow channel characteristic. The width quantization of the FinFET devices helps to reduce the design flexibility of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) and tackles the design divergence between stable, write and read operations. SRAM is widely used in many medical applications due to its low power consumption but traditional 6T SRAM has short channel effect problems. Recently, to overcome these problems various 7T, 9T, 12T, and 14T SRAM architectures are designed using FinFET. This article provides a comprehensive survey of various designs of SRAM using FinFET. It offers a comparative analysis of FinFET technology, power consumption, propagation delay, power delay product, read and write margin. Additionally, the article presents the simulation of the 5T and 6T SRAM design using CMOS and FinFET for 14 nm technology using Microwind 3.8 simulation tool. The o...
