Abstract
In this paper we review the major sources of variability in CMOS devices corresponding to the 45nm technology node and beyond. The focus is on intrinsic parameter fluctuations introduced by discreteness of charge and matter, which play an increasingly important role in the present and future CMOS devices and cannot be controlled or reduced by tightening the process tolerances.
