Sakurai, Takayasu

Takayasu Sakurai received the Ph.D degree in Electronic Engineering from University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1981 and he joined Toshiba Corporation, where he designed CMOS DRAM, SRAM, BiCMOS ASIC's, RISC's, and multimedia VLSI's. He worked on simple yet accurate interconnect delay, capacitance and MOS models widely used as alpha power-law MOS model. He proposed to sense-amplifying flip-flops, variable threshold voltage CMOS scheme, dual voltage converter scheme, hot carrier resilient circuits and other numerous digital and memory circuits, which are adopted in current high-performance, low-power VL...
