    Review Questions:Both SiH and SiO are involved in HCI degradation. Give two evidences.Why doesn’t HCI occur during NBTI stress condition?I suggested that HCI curve can shifted horizontally to form a universal curve, do you believe that I can do a corresponding vertical shift to form the universal...
