Abstract(in English) It is effective for aging of a logic circuit to measure a circuit delay periodically in field. In order to compare the delay value with other values measured in different time, the delay value should be corrected because the circuit delay is affected by variation of temperature and voltage in field measurement. In the previous work correction was done by using temperature and voltage values computed with an on-chip sensor, however it had a problem that correction errors are accumulated through the complex calculation process. This paper proposes a new correction method to eliminate temperature and voltage effects from measured delay values with ring-oscillators. In addition, a calibration method for reducing correction errors is proposed, and finally evaluation results with TEG chips in 65nm CMOS process shows effectiveness of the proposed methods.
