Technical Field

Background
According to the blueprint prediction of the international semiconductor technology, as the process size is continuously reduced, the circuit aging caused by Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is gradually becoming a key factor influencing the chip reliability and reducing the service life of the chip. Threshold voltage Δ V of PMOS due to NBTI effect TH May reach +100 mV, resulting in an increase in overall latency of the data path, leading to the occurrence of errors. For microprocessing in systems such as aerospace, automotive electronics and the like, the life cycle of the microprocessing is very long (more than 10 years), the working environment is worse, and the aging of the processor can be accelerated by long-time high-temperature, high-pressure and high-load work, so that a severe challenge is brought to the life cycle of the processor.
In the design work of a microprocessor circuit, under given environmental conditions and working modes, how to accurately and quickly calculate the NBTI degradation amount of each path in the circuit is a very critical problem. Therefore, the method for accurately predicting the logic delay of the processor combination under the influence of the NBTI effect has great significance on the reliability circuit design and the circuit key path selection analysis.
In 2007, the Sensor circuit is embedded into a standard trigger by the s.mitra group of stanford university, and the Sensor circuit delays a clock signal by using a delay unit to form a detection window to monitor the delay output in the upper-stage combinational logic. Subsequently, some work has improved it, for example, 2011, j.semi proposes an online adaptive aging sensor prediction circuit, and integrates the monitoring function by using a feedback circuit, thereby significantly improving the performance.
