  • Abstract
    Two test circuits have been implemented and measured in order to characterize delay variability in individual MOSFETs. Measurement results show that both circuits have high sensitivities to gate resistance, which differentiate them from other circuits which characterize variations in traditional DC parameters such as threshold voltage and channel length.
