Abstract :
This paper presents understandings on BTI variability based upon an extensive dataset. This enables to select between various theoretical statistical models and to propose a novel description approach for the NBTI-induced mismatch for different technological nodes and a comparison with time-zero variability. The impact from transistor to gate level is also evaluated.
