Abstract
A computer system includes a substrate on which a first current mirror and a second current mirror are disposed. When a stress is present, a behavior, e.g., carrier mobility, of at least one of the devices in each of the first current mirror and the second current mirror is dependent on a direction in which that device is disposed on the substrate. Further, one of the devices in the first current mirror is disposed in a non-parallel orientation with respect to one of the devices in the second current mirror.
