Abstract
The major factors that cumulatively determine circuit-level hot-carrier reliability are defined and characterized in this paper. The inherent inverse relationship between lifetime-underestimation/criteria-overspecification and the amount of known device/circuit information is explored. Lifetime-underestimation/criteria-overspecification is shown to depend quite strongly on the particular "worst-case" approximations used.
