Abstract
In sub 90 nm CMOS technology the process variations seriously affect the performance specification for leakage power and delay. In this paper, we have analyzed the techniques to improve the design quality for power and performance sensitivity to process variations. At gate level forced stacking not only reduces leakage but also improves the robustness of the gate to process variations. Logic style level the variation of leakage current with the Vth variation for various logic styles is studied
