[Invited Talk] How to Mitigate Reliability-related Issues on Nano-scaled LSIs

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) According to aggressive process scaling, reliability issues on
semiconductor devices are becoming dominant such as variability,
temporal failure and aging degradation. Variability is related to the
device fabrication process. Timing margins at design time should be
enlarged as the fluctuation of transistor performance. It may diminish
the performance enhancement from process scaling. Temporal failures
are mainly caused by alpha particles from packages or neutrons from
outer space. These particles generate electron-hole pairs to flip
memory or flip-flops, which is so-called soft errors. Redundant
circuits are commonly utilized to mitigate soft errors. Aging
degradation is mainly caused by BTI (Bias Temperature Instability). In
BTI, transistors are degraded or recovered according to the stress
history on the gate bias. We introduce several mitigation techniques
based on the measurement results.
