| Abstract | This paper deals with obtaining the minimum operating voltage of memory arrays based on TFET SRAM cells. First, we compare the I-V characteristics of two TFETs and one FDSOI using SPICE simulations based on 20nm technology models. The results reveal that TFET devices exhibit high ON/OFF current ratios at different power supply voltage levels. This observation suggests a higher stability for SRAM cells based on these devices. Next, the characteristics of 6T SRAM cells implemented using minimum sized transistors based on these three device structures are compared. The comparison, which considers two TFET cell structures, i.e., inward and outward SRAMs, is performed at different supply voltages. The results for the hold static noise margin show that at low supply voltages (i.e., below 300mV), the FDSOI SRAM cell cannot hold data whereas both the inward and outward structures of TFET have acceptable noise margins at all supply voltages. Among the two TFET structures, the outward cell is selected because of higher speed especially for the write operation. TFET SRAMs suffer from long read access latency at ultra-low supply voltages (e.g., 150mV). The problem, however, may be overcome by using the negative GND read-assist technique. The results show that for a 32×32 TFET outward SRAM array, the minimum energy consumption (energy-delay product) may be achieved at the supply voltage of 200mV (300mV) with 1.32GHz (4.55GHz) as the read access frequency. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
