- *Abstract
-
- *Background
- As electronics get smaller, the demand for smaller complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices increases. However, smaller CMOS devices produce undesired effects such as increased subthreshold leakage current. In the past, these problems have been offset by reducing the supply voltage, which results in significant degradation in performance.
