OxRAM-based non volatile flip-flop in 28nm FDSOI

This paper presents a robust OxRAM-based nonvolatile flip-flop (NVFF) solution, designed for deep nano-scaled CMOS technologies. Forming, set and reset operations rely on a reliable design approach using thin gate oxide CMOS. The NVFF is benchmarked against a standard FF in 28nm CMOS FDSOI. Non-volatility is added with minimal impact on the FF performances.
