Abstract
Most of the time, ageing model for digital circuit are based on short time and high stress measurements. Then, ageing is extrapolated in time and for operational condition of use. Does the model correctly predict ageing after several years of use under normal temperature and voltage conditions? This paper presents ageing and measurements of degradation made during more than 20,000 h on an optimized test bench on nine FPGA including 567 ring oscillators each, with different temperature and voltage stresses. In our knowledge, this is the longer ageing test performed on digital circuit. Based on these measures, we compare semi-empirical modelling made with high temperature stresses and short ageing time (1000 h) with low temperature stresses and long ageing time (20,000 h).
期刊介绍:
Microelectronics Reliability, is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results and related information on the reliability of microelectronic devices, circuits and systems, from materials, process and manufacturing, to design, testing and operation. The coverage of the journal includes the following topics: measurement, understanding and analysis; evaluation and prediction; modelling and simulation; methodologies and mitigation. Papers which combine reliability with other important areas of microelectronics engineering, such as design, fabrication, integration, testing, and field operation will also be welcome, and practical papers reporting case studies in the field and specific application domains are particularly encouraged.
Most accepted papers will be published as Research Papers, describing significant advances and completed work. Papers reviewing important developing topics of general interest may be accepted for publication as Review Papers. Urgent communications of a more preliminary nature and short reports on completed practical work of current interest may be considered for publication as Research Notes. All contributions are subject to peer review by leading experts in the field.
