sizing method by operating point-dependent degradation caused by BTI and HCD enables an innovative design flow. This design flow considers performance characteristics for a fresh circuit and also those of a degraded circuit at design time. Once the degradation from a single transistor is computed, the GMID-Tool does not need any further SPICE or aging simulation. The impact of the change in design methodology is shown for a typical differential amplifier structure. |
