MEASURING BIAS TEMPERATURE INSTABILITY INDUCED RING OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY DEGRADATION

A method establishes an initial voltage in a ring oscillator and a logic circuit of an integrated circuit device. Following this, the method enables the operating state of the ring oscillator. After enabling the operating state of the ring oscillator, the method steps up to a stressing voltage in th...
