The negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), gate oxide breakdown (BD), and HCI (hot carrier injection) are the major wear-out effects on the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit reliability as the CMOS device becomes smaller, especially in the nanoscale size. This paper summarizes much of the recently developed research about the CMOS integrated circuit (IC) design for reliability: from physical level to the circuit level. The tools and algorithm for the CMOS IC design for reliability are also summarized in this paper. It surveys the crucial topics of the CMOS IC design for reliability and the technology to improve the circuit robustness to the wear-out effects.
