摘要: Abstract A framework is proposed to analyze system-level reliability and evaluate the lifetimes of state-of-art microprocessors considering impact process–voltage–temperature (PVT) variations device wearout mechanisms, including bias temperature instability (BTI), hot carrier injection (HCI), gate oxide breakdown (GOBD). This work studies not only system performance degradation due each mechanism individually, but also while all these mechanisms happen simultaneously. unified gate-delay model developed combine PVT aging effect, then a statistical timing engine constructed degradations lifetimes.
