Title
Fast buffer delay estimation considering time-dependent dielectric breakdown
Abstract
This paper presents a novel analytical delay model to perform fast estimation of signal delay propagation over buffer chain under time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) aging effect. The proposed model considers all gate-to-drain, gate-to-source and gate-to-bulk breakdowns effects, and relies on accurate modeling of TDDB. In comparison to SPICE simulation, based on BSIM4 transistor model, experimental results have shown an average error of 1.65%, whereas 98% of the cases present an estimation error of at most 5%.
