With the CMOS transistors being scaled to sub 45nm and lower, Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) has become a major concern due to its impact on PMOS transistor aging pr...
Abstract— Binary Symmetric Channels (BSC) like the Interchip buses and the Intra-chip buses are gaining a lot of attention due to their widespread use with multimedia storage dev...
— A radiation hardening technique for combinational logic circuits is described. The key idea is to exploit the asymmetric logical masking probabilities of gates, hardening gates...
— SRAMs typically represent half of the area and more than half of the transistors on a chip today. Variability increases as feature size decreases, and the impact of variability...
