摘要
A comprehensive device degradation model is built for circuit-level reliability evaluation. A sub-circuit model describing the device degradation under hot-carrier stress is proposed. Combining with the original model predicting device characteristics change under FN stressing in our previous work, a complete device degradation model is presented with fairly good agreements with both DC and AC characteristics. Reliability of mixed-mode Gilbert Cell mixer is investigated and analyzed as well.
