Abstract
The 65 nm process has been optimized through thermal budget and implant of halo and LDD to reduce gate impact. It provides the best matching results ever reported to our knowledge, i.e. A/sub Vt/ of 2.1 and 1.9 mV./spl mu/m for NMOS and PMOS respectively. We demonstrate that such results provide relevant circuit performance improvement. For SRAM, a gain of more than 50% has been achieved on cell read current going from 4 down to 2.1 mV./spl mu/m. For analog applications, significant improvement is pointed out in terms of linearity and resolution.
