Hi,
1. Gate the clock to FF
2. Try to make the inter-connect shorter
3. Use lower Vdd

1. Avoid unconnected inputs, connect this either to ground or Pulled up.
2. Use low power type IC.
3. Use CMOS instead of TTL type.
4. Use high R pullups. ex. use 10k instead of 1k.

| actually i am want some non-traditional methods to decrease the current in digital gates in a specific IC technology say 0.18um and 1.8V and having an already made standard cell on 0.18um

| I'm not sure,but you may try decreasing the sizing of both the PUN and PDN of the standard cells (if you're using standard CMOS) .But this would trade-off with your circuit's speed .

I am not sure on which foundry of 0.18um u gonna use... but i guess there are few types of transistor u can use to reduce the AC/DC leakage...
what i meant is those low power or thick oxide type of transistor instead of those general type... normally u need to trade off leakage for performance... for instance, when switching, the AC leakage is the Idsat current... reducing W/L will reduce AC leakage but reduce speed/driving strength...
btw, i guess u are talking about standard cell, i dunno whether it can be modify... haha sorry... I am not really onto standard cell...
