A simulation and redesign system for circuit hot-carrier reliability
… design system for CMOS VLSI circuit hot-carrier reliability estimation and redesign is presented. The system first simulates circuits to determine the critical transistors that are most susceptible to hot-carrier effect (HCE); it then estimates the impact of HCE on circuit performance …

The Effect Of Hot Carrier Stress On Low Noise Amplifier Radio Frequency Performance Under Weak And Strong Inversion
… of a low noise amplifier (LNA) circuit due to hot carrier effect (HCE) in both the weak and strong inversion regions. Since the figures of merit for the RF circuit characterization are gain, noise figure, input, and output matching, the LNA RF performance drift is evaluated in a Cadence …

Phase Noise in CMOS Phase-Locked Loop Circuits
… investigated in different types of PLL designs. Hot carrier and negative bias temperature instability effects are analyzed from simulations and experiments. Phase noise of a CMOS phase-locked loop as a frequency synthesizer circuit is modeled from the superposition of noises from its building …
