摘要
In this paper, solutions to memory design issues in nanometer CMOS are presented. First a comparative study between various sense-amplifiers is presented in 70nm CMOS technology. Impact of process variation is studied on the performance of these sense-amplifiers. An improved Bit-line leakage compensation scheme is proposed to ensure proper sensing in presence of leakage. Performance benefit of upto 68% can be obtained using this technique.
