CONVENED WEDNESDAY, June 08, 2011, 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
VIDEO: SESSION 24
TOPIC AREA: LOW-POWER DESIGN
RESEARCH PAPER SESSION: Leakage Power Optimization
Chair:
David Garrett - Broadcom Corp., Irvine, CA
As the semiconductor industry continues its march down 32nm,
leakage power continues to increase its dominance in the total power consumption. This session presents different exciting efforts to lower leakage power. The session starts with a paper that presents a leakage-aware redundancy for reliable subthreshold memories and continues with another that offers a 40nm subthreshold standard cell library, which takes inverse-narrow-width-effect into account. The session ends with two papers that propose line-edge roughness aware poly-layout optimization and post sign-off adjustments, respectively. The objective of both papers is to further reduce the leakage power.
