: The challenges in nano-CMOS circuit design include the following: variability, leakage, power, thermals, reliability, and yield. This talk will focus on interdependent considerat...
—Variations of process parameters have an important impact on reliability and yield in deep sub micron IC technologies. One methodology to estimate the influence of these effects...
Metastability is a phenomenon that can cause system failures in digital circuits. It may occur whenever signals are being transmitted across asynchronous or unrelated clock domain...
Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) has been identified as a major and critical reliability issue for PMOS devices in nano-scale designs. It manifests as a negative thres...
