Abstract(in English) FPGAs (Field Programmalbe Gate Arrays) are integrated circuits that can be implemented arbitrary logic functions by reconfigration. In recent years, with the downscaling of semiconductors, the influence on circuit operation due to process variations of FPGA chips and aging of transistors has become problems as with LSIs. In order to realize a highly reliable digital system using FPGA, it is necessary to consider the influence of process variation and aging. Evaluating the characteristics of the initial state of the FPGA chip is important for estimating the aging amount of FPGA and taking measures against aging. In LSIs, a method for measuring process variation of the chip using a ring oscillator (RO) has been proposed. In this study, ROs are implemented in FPGA, oscillation frequency is measured, and the variation in characteristics of the FPGA chip is evaluated.
