Abstract

As CMOS transistors reduced in size, the circuit built using these nano-scale transistors naturally becomes less reliable. The reliability reduction, which is the measure of circuit performance, has brought up so many challenges in designing modern logic integrated circuit. Therefore, reliability modeling is increasingly important subject to be considered in designing modern logic integrated circuit. This drives a need to compute reliability measures for nano-scale circuits. This paper looks into the development of reliability automation tool (RAT) for circuit's reliability computation. The tool is developed using Matlab programming language based on the reliability evaluation model called Probabilistic Transfer Matrix (PTM). RAT allows users to significantly speed-up the reliability assessments of nano-scale circuits. Users have to provide circuit's netlist as the input to RAT for its reliability computation. The netlist signifies the circuit's description in terms of Gate Profile Matrix (GPM), Adjacency Computation Matrix (ACM) and Grid Layout Matrix (GLM). GPM, ACM and GLM indicate the types of logic gates, the interconnection between these logic gates and the layout matrix of these logic gates respectively in a given circuit design. Here, the reliability assessment by RAT is carried out on Full Adder circuit as the benchmark test circuit. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
