Computer-aided design (CAD) tools traditionally optimize for power, performance, and area
(PPA). However, given a vast number of hardware security threats, we call for secure-by …

The characterization of the self-heating effect (SHE) has been an important research topic in
advanced technology, but the existing characterizations are few and the characterization …

In ever-shrinking technology nodes, where transistor 3D structures become increasingly
confined and their features verge on the atomic scale, the phenomena of aging and self …

With the introduction of FinFET transistors, the Self-Heating Effect (SHE) became a major
reliability challenge. In this work, we present an automated SHE estimation method …

Self-heating (SH) is a phenomenon that can induce excessive heat inside the transistor
channel. SH represents an emerging and serious concern, especially in advanced …

Moore's Law-driven technology improvements have led to a significant increase in power
density across a multitude of market segments, from mobile to HEDT (high-end desktop) and …

The self-heating coupling of the hot carrier degradation effect is studied in detail. The results
show that self-heating has a strong activation impact on hot carrier degradation. By …
