Application prof iles of integrated circuits in various industry fields

摘要

Integrated circuits play an increasingly important role in various fields. The aging effects, which lead to robustness problems in integrated circuits, has gained more attention. Therefore, during the design process the robustness problem must already be calculated. Generally, the time-dependent influences such as NBTI (negative bias temperature instability) and HCI (hot carrier injection) contribute to circuit aging problems [1] .
