Figure 14.1.1 shows the 0.154µm2 bitcell (BC). A 2× size reduction from the previous 45nm design [2] is enabled by an equal 2× reduction in BC area. No corner rounding of BC gates allows tighter overlay of gate electrode and active area. The introduction of HKMG provides a significant reduction in the equivalent oxide thickness, thereby reducing the Vt mismatch. This reduction allows aggressive scaling of device dimensions needed to achieve the small area footprint. A 0.7V VDDMIN operation is enabled by three assist features. Stability
