  • Abstract
    Transistor aging occurs in nanoscale technologies and is one of the factors that degrade the performance of LSIs. This paper presents a method for estimating the amount of increment in the delay time of an LSI and a method for estimating the amount of increment in the threshold voltage per transistor from the changes in the period of two ring oscillators by aging.
