  15. The die area of the test-chip is 40.3mm2 with 448 (2048×134) SRAM macros Implementation & Layout Structure layout Chang, Jonathan; Chen, Yen-Huei; Cheng, Hank; Chan, Wei-Min; Liao, Hung-Jen; Li, Quincy; Chang, Stanley; Natarajan, Sreedhar; Lee, Robin; Wang, Ping-Wei; Lin, Shyue-Shyh; Wu, Chung-Cheng; Cheng, Kuan-Lun; Cao, Min; Chang, George H., "A 20nm 112Mb SRAM in High-к metal-gate with assist circuitry for low-leakage and low-VMIN applications," Solid-State Circuits Conference Digest of Technical Papers (ISSCC), 2013  14/17

  16. With the SD, PSD and DR power-management modes, the SRAM leakage current is reduced to 16.6% for full macro shut down, 44.7% of peripheral circuits shut down and 34.2% for the peripheral circuits shut down with arrays entering into data-retention mode • Nothing about stability !!!
