The objective of this research is to develop a semiconductor device operating at as low as 100mV. In order to obtain high on/off ratio at low voltage, a MOS transistor with a floating gate is proposed, where threshold voltage (Vth) automatically decreases in the ON state while Vth increases in the OFF state. The device was actually fabricated, and the decrease in Vth in the ON state and the increase in Vth in the OFF stage was demonstrated at as low as 100mV. It was also demonstrated that the stability of an SRAM cell was improved at 100mV.

这项研究的目标是开发一种工作电压低至 100mV 的半导体器件。为了在低电压下获得高的开/关比，提出了具有浮置栅极的MOS晶体管，其中阈值电压(Vth)在ON状态下自动降低，而Vth在OFF状态下增加。该器件已实际制造，并且证明导通状态下的 Vth 降低和关断阶段的 Vth 增加低至 100mV。还证明 SRAM 单元的稳定性在 100mV 时得到改善。
