hi,
as the gate length is reduced by going to newer technology why do we
need to reduce the supply voltage?
one thing is the switching power =alpha*c*v^2*f.by reducing v we can
reduce power.but by reducing v we need to reduce the vt also to meet
performance.which increases the leakage current.thus by reducing v the
dynamic power is reduced but static power is increased.so y do we need
to reduce v at all or is there any other requirement that we should
reduce v once we have shorter gate length.
