 The ''*'' before the opening brace says that the leakage adjustment parameter should **not** be used. Note that leakage adjustment applies to the entire process/cell, even if the parameter is specified only in one of the ''prs'' blocks or ''sizing'' blocks. The ''*'' before the opening brace says that the leakage adjustment parameter should **not** be used.

 +This feature should only be used for a small number of circuits where performance is more critical than the leakage power. Note that in many technologies, the leakage adjustment parameter is in fact zero, because the minimum length transistors do not behave in an "extra-leaky" manner.
