Abstract

In this paper, statistical variability and different levels of BTI degradation are introduced into a compact model by statistical parameter extraction. Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is used to test the compact model and to investigate the effects of MOSFET statistical variability and degradation at circuit level. Statistical distributions of Static Noise Margin (SNM) under different scenarios representing various degradation levels as well as mismatch levels between 'on' and the rest of the SRAM cell transistors are compared to investigate their impacts on SRAM stability. A surface response model of the dependence of the mean and standard deviation of SNM on circuit ageing and transient stress is also developed to quickly evaluate SRAM stability at arbitrary degradation levels.
