Abstract: Processes, computer-readable media, and machines are disclosed for reducing a likelihood that active functional components fail in a computing system. An active monitoring component receives metrics associated with different active functional components of a computing system. The different active functional components contribute to different functionalities of the system. Based at least in part on the metrics associated with a particular active functional component, the active monitoring component determines that the particular active functional component has reached a likelihood of failure but has not failed. In response to determining that the particular active functional component has reached the likelihood of failure but has not failed, the active monitoring component causes a set of actions that are predicted to reduce the likelihood of failure.

Abstract: A process of an extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is disclosed. The process includes receiving an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask with multiple states. Different states of the EUV mask are assigned to adjacent polygons and a field. The EUV mask is exposed by a nearly on-axis illumination (ONI) with partial coherence σ less than 0.3 to produce diffracted lights and non-diffracted lights. Most of the non-diffracted lights are removed. The diffracted lights and the not removed non-diffracted lights are collected and directed to expose a target by a projection optics box.

Abstract: The reliability of an integrated circuit is inferred from the operational characteristics of sample metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices switchably coupled to drain/source bias and gate input voltages that are nominal, versus voltage and current conditions that elevate stress and cause temporary or permanent degradation, e.g., hot carrier injection (HCI), bias temperature instability (BTI, NBTI, PBTI), time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB). The MOS devices under test (preferably both PMOS and NMOS devices tested concurrently or in turn) are configured as current sources in the supply of power to a ring oscillator having cascaded inverter stages, thereby varying the oscillator frequency as a measure of the effects of stress on the devices under test, but without elevating the stress applied to the inverter stages.
