Increased process variability and reliability issues present a major challenge for future SRAM trends. Non-intrusive and accurate SRAM stability measurement is crucial for estimating yield in large SRAM arrays. Conventional SRAM variability metrics r

We present a novel SRAM technique for simultaneously enhancing the static and dynamic noise margins in six transistor cells implemented with minimum size devices using a design for manufacturability constrained layout. During each access, the word-li

We report and analyze the dependence of complex gates delay with the sensitization vector and its variation-that gets up to 40% in 65-nm CMOS technologies-and include its effect in the path delay estimation-that can be in the order of 16%. The gate d

Resistive bridges are a major class of defects in nanometer technologies that can escape test, posing a serious reliability risk for CMOS IC circuits. The increase of process parameter variations represents a challenge for resistive bridge detection

We analyze and compare the impact of radiation-induced transient effects based on evaluating the critical charge parameter for 6T and 8T SRAMs during hold, read and write operations. Results on a commercial 65 nm CMOS technology show that 6T and 8T c

In this paper we discuss the noise analysis of time variant shapers in the frequency domain, based on well established concepts of the theory of time varying circuits. A frequency domain extension of the techniques typically adopted for noise analysi

Memory design in the nanometer regime imposes specific restrictions to the cell layout structure requiring regular disposition of transistors to minimize the impact of process parameter variations. These layout restrictions invalidate many of the tra

A chaotic integrated circuit is designed and fabricated using a 0.35µm CMOS process. The circuit iterates an N-shaped transfer function using a small analog neural network. One of the advantages of the proposed circuit is its small circuit area with

In this article, we analyze the impact of within-die thermal gradients on clock skew, considering temperature's effect on active devices and the interconnect system. This effect, along with the fact that the test-induced thermal map can differ from t

The calorimeter front-end electronics of the LHCb experiment will be located in a region, which is not protected from radiation. Therefore, all the electronics must be qualified to stand some defined radiation levels. The procedure, measurements and
