Abstract(in English) With the progress of integrated circuit technology, it is becoming important to consider circuit aging. In this work we evaluate influence on circuit characteristic for the operational environment and circuit variation by a circuit simulator, as the first step of aging detection. At first, for a ring oscillator which can be used as a process monitor circuit, we investigate frequency change for the changes of temperature and power supply voltage, respectively. Then we examine a path delay of a circuit consisting of NOT gates by changing the power supply voltage and temperature. In addition, assuming the transistor aging with NBTI, we investigate the change of circuit delay.
