  • Abstract
    Simulation provides more insights of NBTI at low cumulative failure which is not easy to obtain through measurement. Monte-Carlo simulation has demonstrated that NBTI lifetime distribution at transistor level follows lognormal distribution. Rare-Event simulation shows that Weibull distribution fits better than lognormal distribution at product level. Analysis of 90nm SRAM NBTI accelerated test results confirms the product level simulation result.
