Abstract :
This paper introduces a breakthrough in the domain of performance process monitoring that is based on clockless asynchronous circuits. The process monitoring chip was fabricated using 32 nm and 28 nm bulk technologies and enabled relevant process parameters monitoring using an easy-to-use set-up.
