The relative tolerances for interconnect and device parameter variations have not scaled with feature sizes which have brought about significant performance variability. As we sca...
- Electronic systems for safety-critical automotive applications must operate for many years in harsh environments. Reliability issues are worsening with device scaling down, while...
— Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) has the potential to become one of the main show-stoppers of circuit reliability in nanometer scale devices due to its deleterious ...
