A Strategy for Reliability Assessment of Future Nano-Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarizes a strategy for development of an EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool which is aimed to support the design of future nano-circuits. The problem with the existing EDA tools is that they do not explicitly consider reliability as a design criterion. Most of the tools that do consider reliability are not intended for the nanoelectronic industry and are very limited in the types of failure models they can assess. Moreover, current indications show that moving towards nano-scale will significantly increase the failure rates. It follows that an improved EDA tool which would efficiently assess reliability (besides speed, power, area, etc.) is becoming a necessity. In this paper we detail a strategy and its methods that could ultimately lead to an EDA tool for realistic reliability evaluation of nano-circuits. Key-Words: Nanoelectronics, Reliability, EDA, Proxels, Simulation, Fault model.

Abstract On-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits had been built in IC chips to protect the devices and circuits against ESD damage. But, ESD protection circuits constructed with the scaled-down CMOS devices are very weak to ESD stress. Therefore, novel ESD protection solutions must be developed to overcome this reliability challenge for integrated circuits fabricated in the na...
