The newly developed CMOS fourtransistor SRAM cell uses one wordline and one bitline during readwrite operation. This cell retains its data with leakage current and positive feedback without refresh cycle. The new cell size is 19 smaller than a conventional sixtransistor cell using same design rules. Also the leakage current of new cell is 60 smaller than a conventional sixtransistor SRAM cell. Simulation result in 65nm CMOS technology shows new cell has correct operation during readwrite operation and idle mode. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 41, 2010</index> </article>
