Abstract
A method is provided to increase processor frequency in an integrated circuit (IC). The method includes identifying a gate included in the IC, the gate having a gate threshold voltage and performing a plasma process to form an antenna signal path in signal communication with the gate. The method further comprises adjusting the plasma process or circuit design to increase plasma induced damage (PID) applied to the gate so as to alter the gate threshold voltage.
