Abstract
In past decades, “Moore’s law”1 has governed the revolution in microelectronics. Through continuous advancements in device and fabrication technology, the industry has maintained exponential progress rates in transistor miniaturization and integration density. As a result, microchips have become cheaper, faster, more complex, and more power efficient.

Stochastic degradation modeling and simulation for analog integrated circuits in nanometer CMOS
DATE '13: Proceedings of the Conference on Design, Automation and Test in EuropeReliability is one of the major concerns in designing integrated circuits in nanometer CMOS technologies. Problems related to transistor degradation mechanisms like NBTI/PBTI or soft gate breakdown cause time-dependent circuit performance degradation. ...
New Latch-Up Model for Deep Sub-micron Integrated Circuits
DASC '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE Ninth International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure ComputingThis paper mainly simulated the single event latch-up (SEL) for the CMOS inverter under the 0.18um technology. The SEL of integrated circuit (IC) was also analyzed in detail. The result showed that the parasitic lateral transistors NPN and PNP of NMOS ...
