Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This article presents a FinFET SRAM which salvages malfunctioned bits caused by random variation. In the presenting SRAM array, pass gates (PGs) of a 6-transistor SRAM cell consist of tunable-threshold-voltage (Vt) FinFETs. The Vt of those PGs is gradually lowered from a initial value during the read process. Once a datum is detected from a sense amplifier, the Vt is restored to the initial value. By this dynamic threshold-voltage control of PGs, the best Vt for each cell is automatically chosen, and the trade-off relationship between read speed and read margin is optimized in each cell. This technique is effective to reduce supply voltage in a scaled process. The experimental and simulation results suggest that this technique will enable 0.5V operation at read delay within 2ns in an Lg-20nm low-standby-power (LSTP) technology
