contents We report the design-technology co-optimization (DTCO) scheme to develop a 28-nm cryogenic CMOS (Cryo-CMOS) technology for high-performance computing (HPC). The precise adjustment of halo implants manages to compensate the threshold voltage (VTH) shift at low temperatures. The optimized NMOS and PMOS transistors, featured by VTH<0.2V, sub-threshold swing (SS)<30 mV/dec, and on-state current (Ion)>1.2mA/um at 77K, warrant a reliable sub-0.6V operation. Moreover, the enhanced driving strength of Cryo-CMOS inherited from a higher transconductance leads to marked improvements in elevating the ring oscillator frequency by 20%, while reducing the power consumption of the compute-intensive cryogenic IC system by 37% at 77K.
