N2 - Small-variability transistors such as silicon on thin buried oxide (SOTB) are effective for reducing the operation voltage (Vdd). In the ultralow-Vdd regime, however, the upsurging delay (τpd) variability is the most important challenge. This paper proposes the balanced n/p drivability control method for reducing the die-to-die delay variation by back bias applicable for various circuits. Excellent variability reduction by this balanced control is demonstrated at Vdd = 0.4 V.
