<p><b>Transistor aging</b> (sometimes called <b>silicon aging</b>) is the process of <a href="page.php?w=silicon">silicon</a> <a href="page.php?w=transistors">transistors</a> developing flaws over time as they are used, degrading performance and reliability, and eventually failing altogether. Despite the name, similar mechanisms may affect transistors made of any kind of semiconductor. <a href="page.php?w=Semiconductor_industry">Manufacturers</a> compensate for this (as well as manufacturing defects) by running chips at slower <a href="page.php?w=clock_rate">speeds</a></p><p>
