Integrity and Reliability of Integrated CircuitS (IRIS), Phase III: DARPA is soliciting research proposals for a comprehensive exploration of the effects of extreme physical stresses on wear-out and aging mechanisms in CMOS FETs at 28nm and/or 14nm lithography node. The objective of the IRIS Program Phase III is to explore aging effects in both transistors and transistor interconnects to create predictive models and to test how precisely and rapidly specific wear-out mechanisms can be asserted, for the purposes of accelerating burn-in, aging, and wear-out.
