Today integrated circuits exhibit rapidly increasing power dissipation due to static leakage in idle circuits. Innovative device technology on its own does not provide scalable leakage-problem solutions that manage to keep up with increasing device density. Leakage already now can present insurmountable design obstacles to energy-limited embedded Systems-On-Chips. To pave the way for future, dense … [More Info]
