  • Abstract
    The conversion of an existing standard cell compatible SRAM macro to a partially depleted SOI process is described. The issues discovered in the conversion were: changed coupling capacitance and noise analysis, history effects in the sense amplifier, setup and hold time analysis and thermal effects. For each of these effects the steps taken to meet functionality requirements are explained
