Abstract
The traditional models and techniques for studying reliability in integrated circuits may not be appropriate for nanoelectronics and nanosystems. In this paper, we present an overview of a number of materials and metrology techniques currently under development in our group at NIST. Among other topics, we will assess the techniques and models currently used for evaluating integrated circuit reliability, as well as present some new approaches.
