Processors progressively age during their service life due to normal workload activity. Such aging results in gradually slower circuits. Anticipating this fact, designers add timi...
The continued scaling of device dimensions and the operating voltage reduces the critical charge and thus natural noise tolerance level of transistors. As a result, circuits can p...
— Starting at the 65nm node, stress engineering to improve performance of transistors has been a major industry focus. An intrinsic stress source – shallow trench isolation –...
