This paper presents circuit level design methodologies for significantly reducing the standby leakage power. Layout of different CMOS logic circuits such as a 2-input XOR, a 2-input XNOR, and a 4-input XNOR are designed and simulated by using BSIM4 MOS transistor model parameters. Layout simulations are done at a supply voltage of 0.4 V in 45 nm CMOS technology. Logic circuits designed by using the proposed circuit design methodologies proved to be effective in minimizing the standby leakage power. All layout design and simulation of the circuits are carried out by using Microwind EDA software (version 3.1).

AbstractThe recent introduction of dual inlaid Cu and oxide based interconnects within sub-0.25μm CMOS technology has delivered higher performance and lower power devices. Further speed improvements and power reduction may be achieved by reducing the interconnect parasitic capacitance through integration of low-k interlevel dielectric (ILD) materials with Cu. This paper demonstrates successful multi-level dual inlaid Cu/low-k interconnects with ILD permittivities ranging from 2.0 to 2.5. Integration challenges specific to inorganic low-k and Cu based structures are discussed. Through advanced CMP process development, multi-level integration of porous oxide materials with moduli less than 0.5 GPa is demonstrated. Parametric data and isothermal annealing of these Cu/ low-k structures show results with yield comparable to Cu/oxide based interconnects.
