HCI degradation of pass-gate transistor with forward and reverse stress biases in advanced
FinFET technology is investigated comprehensively. Due to the bidirectional stress, pass-
gate HCI shows larger degradation than conventional HCI, which can induce up to 50%
error in predicting pass-gate delay degradation. Based on the proposed underlying physics,
compact model of pass-gate HCI is developed and verified. With further analysis on circuit
level, new simulation methodology is demonstrated. It is thus helpful to the reliability-aware …
