Dynamic performance and leakage current characteristics of 1/4-micron-gate ultra-thin CMOS/SIMOX gate array

Abstract
Dynamic performance and leakage current characteristics of fully-depleted quarter-micron-gate CMOS/SIMOX devices are examined using a new test structure built on a 1.4-/spl mu/m-pitch gate array. High speed and low power characteristics of various loaded CMOS/SIMOX logic gates have been verified with the test structure. Furthermore, we have found that the NMOS subthreshold leakage current due to the parasitic bipolar action varies with the off-state period of input pulses during switching operation.<>
