Abstract :
A 32 nm logic technology for high performance microprocessors is described. 2nd generation high-k + metal gate transistors provide record drive currents at the tightest gate pitch reported for any 32 nm or 28 nm logic technology. NMOS drive currents are 1.62 mA/um Idsat and 0.231 mA/um Idlin at 1.0 V and 100 nA/um Ioff. PMOS drive currents are 1.37 mA/um Idsat and 0.240 mA/um Idlin at 1.0 V and 100 nA/um Ioff. The impact of SRAM cell and array size on Vccmin is reported.
