ION is NOT so important
as long as:
IEFF is carefully optimized
Low IOFF
Steep characteristic è
improved ION/IOFF ratio

• Why do we really need SRAMs?
SRAM – what is this memory good for ?
- SPEED
- Low power (static and dynamic)
• Which are the other requirements for SRAM?
- Compact cell (low area)

Conclusion: - Half Selection and Write Disturb – avoided - Reasonable margins – obtained - Reasonable speed – obtained - Very low static power – obtained - Reduced area - obtained
TFET can replace the CMOS in SRAM for low power applications
