—Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is a significant reliability concern for nanoscale CMOS circuits. Its effects on circuit timing can be especially pronounced for ci...
Abstract—In this paper we propose a novel statistical framework to model the impact of process variations on semiconductor circuits through the use of process sensitive test stru...
Soft errors in combinational and sequential elements of digital circuits are an increasing concern as a result of technology scaling. Several techniques for gate and latch hardeni...
— During volume testing, test application time, test data volume and high performance automatic test equipment (ATE) are the major cost factors. Embedded testing including builti...
