Abstract
Ever since the invention of integrated circuits, there has been a continuous demand for high-performance, low-power, and low-area/low-cost diversified applications from a variety of consumers. This demand has been pushing the fabrication process beyond ultra-deep, sub-micron technologies such as, 32, 22, 14 nm, and so on. In this chapter, various technological aspects for low-power applications are reviewed in detail, along with the evolution of new technology, bearing in mind the PPA (power, performance, and area). Some basic reviews of components of power consumption in CMOS are also given.
