Abstract(in English) We focus on the Standard Cell Memory (SCM) as another option to supersede SRAM for low-voltage operation. This paper describes a design of low-power SCM using Silicon-on-Thin-BOX (SOTB). In particular, we present automatic place and routing(P&R) methodology for optimal body-bias separation(BBS) for SCM. Simulation results demonstrated that proposed automatic P&R methodology can reduce wire length by 22% and energy consumption by 57% as compared to the standard digital flow. We also found that the proposed SCM operates at the minimum energy point (0.3V) with 3.7fJ energy per bit-access because we can reduce leakage energy in Near-Vth/Sub-Vth region by optimal BBS.
