As CMOS electronic devices are continuously shrinking to nanometer regime, leads to increasing the consequences of short channel effects and variability due to the process parameters which lead to cause the reliability of the circuit as well as performance. To solve these issues of CMOS, FINFET is one of the promising and better technologies without sacrificing reliability and performance for its applications and the circuit design. Among the various embedded memory technologies, SRAM provides the highest performance along with low standby power consumption. In CMOS circuits, high leakage current in deep-submicron regimes is becoming a significant contributor to power dissipation due to reduction in threshold voltage, channel length, and gate oxide thickness. FinFET based SRAM design can be used as an alternative solution to the bulk devices. FinFET is suitable for Nano scale memory circuits design due to its reduced Short Channel Effects (SCE) and leakage current. As the impact of process variations become increasingly significant in ultra deep submicron technologies, FinFETs are becoming increasingly popular a contender for replacement of bulk FETs due to favorable device characteristics. The paper focuses on study of various design aspects of FinFET based SRAM.
