  1. Self-calibrating Online Wearout Detection Authors: Jason Blome Shuguang Feng Shantanu Gupta Scott Mahlke MICRO-40 December 3, 2007 1

  2. [Srinivasan, DSN‘04] [Borkar, MICRO‘05] Motivation • “Designing Reliable Systems from Unreliable Components…” - Shekhar Borkar (Intel) Failures will be wearout induced More failures to come 2

  3. RAMP Current Approaches • Traditional • Design margins • Burn-in • Detection: based on replication of computation • TMR (Tandem/HP NonStop servers) • DIVA (Bower, MICRO’05) • Prediction: utilizes precise analytical models and/or sensors • Canary circuits (SentinelSilicion, RidgeTop) • RAMP (Srinivasan, UIUC/IBM) Impractical Static Costly 3

  4. Wearout Mechanisms • Many failure mechanisms have been shown to be progressive • Hot carrier injection (HCI) • Negative Bias Temperature Inversion (NBTI) • Electromigration (EM) • Oxide Breakdown (OBD) 4

  5. Objective • Propose a failure prediction technique that exploits the progressive nature of wearout • Monitor impact on path delays • Prediction • Monitors evolution of wearout • Proactive • enables failure avoidance/mitigation • Continuous feedback • False negatives and positives • Detection • Identifies existing fault • Reactive • enables failure recovery • End-of-life feedback • False negatives 5

  6. Oxide Breakdown (OBD) • Accumulation of defects leads to a conductive path Percolation Model [Stathis, JAP‘06] 6

  7. [Rodriguez, Stathis, Linder, IRPS ‘03] OBD HSPICE Model • Post-breakdown leakage modeling [BSIM4.6.0, ‘06] 7

  8. Characterization Testbench • 90nm standard cell library tcircuit tcell 8

  21. Introspective Reliability Management 21

  22. Conclusions • Many progressive wearout phenomenon impact device-level performance. • It’s possible to characterize this impact and anticipate failures • WDU performance • Failure predicted within 20% of end of life (tunable) • Area overhead < 3% (hybrid) • Low-level sensors can be used to enable intelligent reliability management 22
