Abstract

Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) has become a critical reliability phenomena in advanced CMOS technology. In this paper, we propose an analytical temperature-aware dynamic NBTI model, which can be used in two circuit operation cases: executing tasks with different temperatures, and switching between active and standby mode. A PMOSV_th degradation model and a digital circuits' temporal performance degradation estimation method are developed based on our NBTI model. The simulation results show that: 1) the execution of a low temperature task can decrease ΔV_th due to NBTI by 24.5%; 2) switching to standby mode can decrease ΔV_th by 52.3%; 3) for ISCAS85 benchmark circuits, the delay degradation can decrease significantly if the circuit execute low temperature task or switch to standby mode; 4) we have also observed the execution time's ratio of different tasks and the ratio of active to standby time both have a considerable impact on NBTI effect.
