Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) has become the dominant reliability concern for nanoscale PMOS transistors. In this paper, a predictive model is developed for the deg...
— Lithographic variability and its impact on printability is a major concern in today’s semiconductor manufacturing process. To address sub-wavelength printability, a number of...
In nanometer scaled CMOS devices significant increase in the subthreshold, the gate and the reverse biased junction band-toband-tunneling (BTBT) leakage, results in the large incr...
Process variability has a detrimental impact on the performance of memories and other system components, which can lead to parametric yield loss at the system level due to timing ...
