摘要
This paper evaluates the potential of using the sleep transistor in FinFET logic cells to mitigate the process variability effects and the soft error susceptibility. The insertion of a sleep transistor improves up to 40.6% the delay variability and up to 12.4% the power variability. Moreover, the design with a sleep transistor became all logic cells investigated free of faults, independently of the supply voltage applied in the design.
