Since thermal responses of the drive current in recent 3D FinFET and conventional planar transistors are different, addressing performance and reliability in advanced VLSI circuits must be reconsidered. This study investigates temperature effects on two of the most problematic reliability issues in modern logic circuits, namely Bias Temperature Instability (BTI) and soft errors. In particular, we...
