In recent years, the exponential growth of internet of things (IoT) and cyber physical systems
(CPS) in safety critical applications has imposed severe reliability and security challenges …

Integrated circuits are getting increasingly vulnerable to soft errors; as a consequence, soft
error rate (SER) estimation has become an important and very challenging goal. In this work …

The manufacturing of modern Integrated Circuits (IC), resistant to faults caused by ionising
radiation, has become quite challenging due to the rapid advancement of VLSI technology …

Soft Error Rate (SER) estimation is an important challenge for integrated circuits because of
the increased vulnerability brought by technology scaling. This paper presents a …

With the downscaling of CMOS technologies, the radiation-induced Single Event Transient
(SET) effects in combinational logic have become a critical reliability issue for modern …

This paper targets fault propagation evaluation in combinational circuits and focuses on
netlist-based logic masking prediction. We propose an approach that combines clustering …
