Abstract :
A unique low cost, microprocessor compatible, 0.5 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ 5V CMOS technology utilizing an 18.4 4m2 bulk 6T cell for high density, high speed SRAMs is described. Microprocessor compatibility is ensured by improving CMOS and inter-onnect area efficiency. A 256K SRAM is used to demonstrate the technology.
