Zusammenfassung: | Transistor aging has become the most important factor affecting the integrated circuit reliability. There is detection error caused by stacking effect in the stability checker in the previous respective aging sensors. An improved prediction aging sensor scheme is proposed using symmetrical NOR gate. Simulation experiments show the improved method eliminates prediction error caused by stacking effect. Layout area overhead is 4.65% and 7.06% compared to two respective sensor structures. |
