    This paper presents a simulation framework for reliability analysis of circuits in the SPICE environment. The framework incorporates the degradation of physical parameters such as threshold voltage (Vtp) into circuit simulation and enables the design of highly reliable circuits. The ...
    Abstract—This paper presents a predictive model for the Nega-tive Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) of PMOS under both short term and long term operation. Based on the reaction-diffusion (RD) mechanism, this model accurately captures... more

    Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) and channel hot carrier (CHC) are the leading reliability concerns for nanoscale transistors. The de facto modeling method to analyze CHC is based on substrate current Isub, which becomes increasingly problematic with technology scaling as various leakage components dominate Isub. In this paper, we present a unified approach that directly predicts the change of key
