...Thus, the Vt fluctuation due to the RDF of one transistor does not depend on the Vt fluctuation of any neighboring transistor....
[...]
...The standard deviation of the Vt fluctuation (σVt) due to RDF depends on the manufacturing process, doping profile, and the transistor sizing [6]....

...scaling [1]–[5], analysis and reduction of the mismatch-induced parametric failures in an SRAM cell is extremely necessary to enhance the yield of a memory designed in nanoscaled complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) [8], [9]....

...This assumption is valid if we are considering the Vt variation due to RDF [1]–[3]....
[...]
...The mean (µLCELL) and the standard deviation (σLCELL) of the leakage of a cell considering RDF-induced Vt fluctuation can be obtained using the process described in (3)....

...1)Modeling: Because the systematic variation is more like a deterministic variation [ 14 ], we lump it with the nominal value h0, i.e.,...

...According to the scale of their causes, process variations can also be classified into the following two categories [ 14 ], [16]: 1) Systematic variation describes the deterministic portion of the variation....
