Abstract
A comprehensive device degradation model is built for circuit-level reliability evaluation. A sub-circuit model, describing the device degradation under hot-carrier stress is proposed. Combining with the original model, predicting device characteristic changes under FN stressing in our previous work, a complete device degradation model is presented with fairly good agreement with both DC and AC characteristics. In addition, the reliability of a mixed-mode Gilbert cell mixer is investigated and analyzed.
