Design and analysis of active and passive decoupling capacitors for on-chip power supply noise management

On-chip decoupling capacitors (decaps) in the form of MOS transistors are widely used to reduce power supply noise in both standard-cell blocks and white spaces between blocks. This research provides guidelines for layouts of decaps that properly tradeoff high-frequency response, electrostatic disch...
