IMPACT OF PROCESS VARIATIONS ON SOFT ERROR SENSITIVITY OF 32-NM VLSI CIRCUITS IN NEAR-THRESHOLD REGION

Power consumption has become a major concern of integrated circuit (IC) design. Reducing the supply voltage to the near-threshold region is one method to reduce the power consumption. However, operating in this region makes the circuit more sensitive to process variations. In the thesis, the impact...
