Abstract

Double-Gate (DG) transistor has emerged as the most promising device for nano-scale circuit design. Independent control of front and back gate in DG devices can be effectively used to improve performance and reduce power in sub-50nm circuits. In this paper, we propose a high-performance sense-amplifier design using independent gate control in symmetric and asymmetric DG devices. The proposed design reduces the sensing delay of the sense amplifier by 30-35% and dynamic power by 10% (at 6GHz) from the connected gate design.
