Technology scaling has resulted in an exponential increase in the leakage power as well as the variations in leakage power of fabricated chips. Functional units (FUs), like Intege...
Device scaling such as reduced oxide thickness and high electric field has given rise to various reliability concerns. One such growing issue of concern is the degradation of PMOS...
