0.5μm CMOS Technology for 5.6nsec High Speed 16x16 Bit Multiplier

CMOS technology becomes indispensable for designing VLSI circuits because of high speed, wide noise margin, and low power dissipation. Moreover, scaled down half a micron CMOS circuits have a large impact on high speed operation, where the speed is comparable to that of bipolar and GaAs. However, when CMIOS devices are scaled down to half micron, it is difficult to suppress punchthrough and parasitic resistance for PMOSFETs and hot carrier degradation for NMOSFETs.
