Abstract
A novel reliability simulator and its associated circuit-level degradation models with automated parameter extraction procedures for VLSI circuits have been developed. This circuit reliability modeling and simulation environment can serve as a bridge between the system and device reliability. Performance and lifetime of digital and analog ICs can be optimized through the usage of this reliability simulator
