Hello Dipankar, As long as you ensure the bulk-source junction doesnt cross the Potential Barrier voltage of the p-n jnxn, You can use Fwd Body-Bias to reduce Vt..... But keep in mind, 1. there's a limit to which you can reduce Vt using this technique.... 2. You would need Triple-Well technology -- costly. 3. You have to ensure that across PVT, your bulk-source jnxn doesnt become forward-biased. 4. keep you bulk-source bias programmable to again bring back Vt to normal values while in Power-Down Stage otherwise leakage current can increase. 5. Ensure your models are reliable when you are using these kind of risky techniques...
I provided you the advantages & disadvantages....Weigh the pros & cons yourself & then decide.
