Abstract
A new framework for analyzing the impact of bias temperature instability (BTI) variations on timing in large-scale digital logic circuits is proposed in this paper. This approach incorporates both the reaction-diffusion model and the charge-trapping model for BTI and embeds these into a temporal statistical static timing analysis framework capturing process variations and path correlations. Experimental results on 32-, 22-, and 16-nm technology models, which were verified through Monte Carlo simulation, confirm that the proposed approach is fast, accurate, and scalable and indicate that BTI variations make a significant contribution to circuit-level timing variations.
