Abstract

As CMOS technology is reaching the nanometer scale, transient and intermittent faults occurrence in logic circuits, which implies a reliability degradation, can no longer be neglected. This paper deals with reliability evaluation which is a critical parameter in circuit design. The proposed method is scalable, iterative and accelerates the reliability analysis.
