The amplitude of coupled noise is often used in estimating the crosstalk effect. Coupling noise-induced delay measures the impact of crosstalk on circuit performance. Efficient c...
Soft errors, once only of concern in memories, are beginning to affect logic as well. Determining the soft error rate (SER) of a combinational circuit involves three main masking ...
With aggressive gate oxide scaling, latent defects in the gate oxide manifest as traps that, in time, lead to gate oxide breakdown. Progressive gate oxide breakdown, also referred...
Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) has been a significant reliability concern in current digital circuit design due to its effect of increasing the path delay with time a...

In this paper, we study temperature-constrained hard realtime systems, where real-time guarantees must be met without exceeding safe temperature levels within the processor. Dynam...
