Abstract

Scale down the size of devices introduce the effect of negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), positive bias temperature instability (PBTI), and hot carrier injection (HCI) in very-large-scale integration (VLSI) chip design and the major concern is to minimize these effects to a nominal value. In the paper, authors focus in minimization of NBTI effect and develop a noble degradation monitoring sensor circuit named SCHIMOS. A comparison is stated between an analytically strong equisensitive LISOCHIN sensor and SCHIMOS in 90nm and 45nm technology node. Paper experimentally reduces the NBTI effect that is controlled by a number of factors including a reduction in PMOS size, duty cycle, and VDD-Vth tuning. However, NBTI effect degrades the speed and increases the threshold voltage of PMOS transistors. Keywords: NBTI, SCHIMOS, LISOCHIN, PMOS size, VDD-Vth tuning.
