The subthreshold leakage current in an NMOS transistor is given by the following expression: iD = ISe^VGS/nVT. The constant value IS in this expression is proportional to e-Vt/nVT (Do not confuse Vt with VT, Vt is the threshold voltage value and V, is the thermal voltage value). Assume n = 2, if the threshold voltage of an NMOS transistor is reduced by 0.1V, by what factor the static power dissipation increase?

This question: Moore’s law predicts that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles every two years. If the microprocessor shown above dissipates 60 watts at VDD = 3 V, then find the value of VDD that will be required for the next-generation microprocessor in 4 years with transistors working at doubled frequency (2 times). Assume the device capacitance remains constant and that we want the power dissipation to remain unchanged at 60 watts. 1.5 V 530 mV 750 mV 1.06 V 864 mV

The current Is in the subthreshold conduction Eq. iD = Ise^vGS/nVT is proportional to exp(-Vt/nVT). If the threshold voltage of an NMOS transistor is reduced by 0.1 V, by what factor will the static power dissipation increase? Assume n = 2. Repeat for a reduction in Vt by 0.2 V. What do you conclude about the selection of a value of Vt in process design?
