Περίληψη:Leakage current has become a significant problem in sub-micron circuits due to the continuous scaling of channel length. Therefore, leakage reduction has become an essential design process in order to achieve a better performance especially in low power circuit applications. Leakage control can be achieved by process design and circuit design. Both of these design techniques are introduced in this project with focus on circuit design techniques. Simulations will be carried out on 65nm process transistors using Cadence software to investigate the performances of these techniques. The results provided will serve as a guideline in understanding the pros and cons of these circuit design techniques, which are proved to be effective.
