Question 9.(20 points)- Spice Simulation
Complete the following SRAM circuit optimization procedure. Submit your source codes of the HSpice netlist and stimulus, simulation results, and screenshots of your simulation.
(Refer to the lab sessions (Labs 2,3,4 and 8), and Lec21 and Lec22)
1. Design 6T SRAM cell (see Fig. 1) in Virtuoso and simulate reading and writing operations. \((\) Vdd \(=1.1\mathrm{v}\), Capacitance \(=1\mathrm{f})\)
1) Create a schematic and netlist of the 6T SRAM cell.
2) Plot the Reading 0 and 1 operation (Please attach the CosmosScope result).
3) Plot the Writing 0 and 1 operation (Please attach the CosmosScope result).
2. Considering the delay, repeat the simulation of reading and writing operations and optimize 6 T SRAM cell circuit.
1) Optimize each transistor width size to minimize reading and writing operation delays. Fill out the below table using optimized width sizes that you obtained from the simulations. (Hint: Use the given width sizes (Size 1(90nm), Size 2(180nm), Size 4\((360\mathrm{~nm})\), Size \(6(540\mathrm{~nm})\) and Size \(8(720\mathrm{~nm})\)), and simulate your circuit to find the minimum delay)
*Note: 1-90nm,2-1800nm,4-360nm,6-540nm,8-720nm
2) Plot the Reading 0 and 1 operation (Please attach the CosmosScope result).
3) Plot the Writing 0 and 1 operation (Please attach the CosmosScope result).
4) Compare the measurement results using HSpice. (Please attach screenshots of your delay measurement result (.mt0 file))
3. Explain 'read stability' and 'writability' by using HSpice simulation.
