Low cost NBTI degradation detection and masking approaches

Performance degradation of integrated circuits due to aging effects, such as Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI), is becoming a great concern for current and future CMOS technology. In this paper, we propose two monitoring and masking approaches that detect late transitions due to NBTI degr...
