Circuit-Technology Co-Optimization of SRAM Design in Advanced CMOS Nodes

Modern computing engines—CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs—require extensive SRAM for cache designs, driven by the increasing demand for higher density, performance, and energy efficiency. This book delves into two primary areas within ultra-scaled technology nodes: (1) advancing SRAM bitcell scaling and (2) exploring innovative subarray designs to enhance power-performance-area (PPA) metrics across technology nodes.

The first part of the book utilizes a bottom-up design-technology co-optimization (DTCO...
