A 1 mu m CMOS/SOI 64 K SRAM with 10 nA standby current

Summary form only given. The successful design and fabrication of a 64 K SRAM on SIMOX material is discussed. The advantage of the small junction area resulting from mesa isolation is most evident in the very low standby current. An impressively high yield for first-pass material in a research wafer fabrication area was obtained. Aspects of the design relating to the SOI characteristics are discussed and full characterization results are presented.<
