DARPA is seeking research proposals to investigate the impact of extreme physical stresses on wear-out and aging mechanisms in CMOS FETs at 28nm and/or 14nm. The goal of Phase III of the IRIS Program is to develop predictive models for aging effects in transistors and interconnects, and to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of wear-out assessment. The ultimate aim is to expedite burn-in, aging, and wear-out processes. Check out the full details in DARPA-BAA-15-47 for more information. Submission deadline is on September 4, 2015.

| Description: | DARPA is soliciting research proposals for a comprehensive exploration of the effects of extreme physical stresses on wear-out and aging mechanisms in CMOS FETs at 28nm and/or 14nm lithography node. The objective of the IRIS Program Phase III is to explore aging effects in both transistors and transistor interconnects to create predictive models and to test how precisely and rapidly specific wear-out mechanisms can be asserted, for the purposes of accelerating burn-in, aging, and wear-out.
