It has been made clear that the presence of hot carriers triggers a series of physical processes that affects the FD-SOI and FinFET device characteristics under normal circuit operation. These effects cumulatively build up over prolonged periods, causing the circuit to age with time, resulting in performance degradations that may eventually lead to circuit failure. In this paper we tackle with the HC effects using a software tool that is able to quantify the HC induced degradation of the devices in a design, and furthermore predict the lifetime of the corresponding circuit. We present the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and we give examples of tool operation.
