Abstract :
Recently in semiconductor memories, it is becoming difficult to meet the target performance requirements by technology development based solely on device scaling. Especially, due to the increase in memory capacity, increased operation speed and increased leakage current of MOSFET, the power consumption of LSI is rapidly increasing.
