Innovations in electronics history have been possible because of the strong association of devices and materials research. The demand for low voltage, low power and high performance are the great challenges for engineering of sub 50nm gate length CMOS devices. Functional CMOS devices in the range of 5 nm channel length have been demonstrated. The alternative architectures allowing to increase devices drivability and reduce power are reviewed through the issues to address in gate/channel and substrate, gate dielectric as well as source and drain engineering. HiK gate dielectric and metal gate are among the most strategic options to consider for power consumption and low supply voltage management. It will be very difficult to compete with CMOS logic because of the low series resistance required to obtain high performance. By introducing new materials ( Ge , diamond/graphite Carbon, HiK, …), Si based CMOS will be scaled beyond the ITRS as the future System-on-Chip Platform integrating new disruptive devices. The association of C-diamond with HiK as a combination for new functionalized Buried Insulators, for example, will bring new ways of improving short channel effects and suppress self-heating. That will allow new optimization of Ion-Ioff trade offs. The control of low power dissipation and short channel effects together with high performance will be the major challenges in the future.

We look over improvements in the schemes of large size content addressable memory (CAM). A CAM is a very important device that executes the routing table function within a single clock cycle in network router to transmit information over the network. CAMs are particularly popular in network switches to classify and sending information packets, they are also helpful in other different applications that require fast information retrieval from routing table. The primary CAM configuration challenge is to decrease power dissipation related with the lot of parallel activity in memory circuitry during search operation. As innovation going on in technology scaling, it continues minimizing the dynamic power dissipation of CAMs, however it also rises the leakage current of transistors. Thus, the static power is turning into a noteworthy bit of the whole power dissipation in CAMs. Here, we introduced a procedure which advantageous for high capacity Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) that minimize the static power dissipation in SRAM storage cell part and speed up activity in searching part of TCAM cell. We also divide whole memory into equivalent segments which improve performance of our design. We examine the different schemes and introduced the trade-offs of applying the techniques. Simulation and design have done by using Tanned EDA V.16 tool. For recreations of Low power TCAM structures we utilized predictive technology model (PTM) 45nm for high performance (HP) and low power (LP), which incorporate metal gate, high-k and stress effect of CMOS technology.

A design methodology of CMOS LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is proposed in this paper. The relation between components and specifications of the LC-VCO is studied to easily identify its design trade-offs. This methodology has been applied to design ultra-low-power LC-VCOs for different frequency bands. An LC-VCO based on the current reuse technique has been realized with the proposed methodology in 0.13[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS process. Measurements present an ultra-low power consumption of only 262[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]W drawn from 1[Formula: see text]V supply voltage. The measured frequency tuning range is about 10% between 2.179[Formula: see text]GHz and 2.409[Formula: see text]GHz. The post-layout simulation presents a phase noise (PN) of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBc/Hz, while the measured PN is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBc/Hz.
