Nowadays CMOS technology feature size is being scaled aggressively. Supply voltage is not proportionally scaled, gate dielectric thickness is reduced and as a result, the devices are subjected to stronger electric fields, thereby causing stress on transistor. Stress causes aging degradation, which can lead to dramatic consequences on mobile devices, aircraft, military systems, or medical devices.
A method is proposed for designing two types of operational amplifiers with usage
of only thin oxide devices, which are protected from stress conditions, namely from aging
degradation. The proposed methods can also be implemented on other types of operational amplifiers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
