Overview
- Reviews classic Electromigration (EM) models, as well as existing EM failure models and discusses the limitations of those models
- Introduces a dynamic EM model to address transient stress evolution, in which wires are stressed under time-varying current flows, and the EM recovery effects. Also includes new, parameterized equivalent DC current based EM models to address the recovery and transient effects
- Presents a cross-layer approach to transistor aging modeling, analysis and mitigation, spanning multiple abstraction levels
- Equips readers for EM-induced dynamic reliability management and energy or lifetime optimization techniques, for many-core dark silicon microprocessors, embedded systems, lower power many-core processors and datacenters
