Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Towards the reducing power consumption, subthreshold circuit which operates at a low voltage below the threshold voltage of the transistor has been widely researched.
The low power supply voltage circuits, variation for the minimum operation voltage which is defined by the minimum supply voltage that circuit is operable, and circuit design considering timing variation are important to obtain appropriate yield.
In this paper, we focus on the flip-flop minimum operation voltage especially in the standard cells.
Static failure modes are classified as a factor of the minimum operation voltage, and timing constraints are analyzed.
By analyzing the failure modes,it will be possible to identify the logic circuit elements which are frangible in low supply voltage.
In low supply voltage operation, as compared with the combination circuit, it was found that there is not need to assign many timing margin to sequential circuit.
