Abstract
A self-healing monolithic integrated includes an electronic circuit having a plurality of transistors. At least one sensor is disposed within and electrically coupled to the electronic circuit and configured to sense a performance metric of the electronic circuit. A plurality of actuators is disposed within the circuit. Each actuator of the plurality of actuators has electrically coupled to it a control terminal. The plurality of actuators is configured to perform a selected one of, electrically coupling at least one transistor of the plurality of transistors into the electronic circuit and electrically de-coupling at least one transistor of the plurality of transistors, in response to operation of one of the control terminals to improve the performance metric.
