Abstract:	Time-Dependent Variability (TDV) phenomena represent a serious concern for device and circuit reliability. To address the TDV impact at circuit level, Reliability-Aware Design (RAD) tools can be used by circuit designers to achieve more reliable circuits. However, this is not a straightforward task, since the development of RAD tools comprises several steps such as the characterization, modeling and simulation of TDV phenomena. Furthermore, in deeply-scaled CMOS technologies, TDV reveals a stochastic nature that can complicate those steps. In this invited paper, we review some of the main challenges that appear in each step of the flow towards the development of RAD tools, providing our solutions to them.
