  • Abstract
    Recently, the miniaturization process has brought an increase in transistor variations and in the failure rate at transistors. We propose a small variety of new standard cells. The proposed cells can correct and detect transistor faults. A functional unit with the proposed cells shows better fault tolerance. The area of this unit is approximately 1.4 times that of traditional cells.
