Hello SI Experts, 
I am faced to signal integrity issue when temperature rises above 70°C. 
My clock signal output from 54HCT04 bare die is distorted: it presents non 
monotonic edges that falls down to 1V, ie under next device low threshold (Vil 
= 1.5V). Thus my clock at 3MHz is seen as a 6MHz clock, and my test is FAIL. 

When the temperature falls down to ambiant, the signal quality comes back 
perfect. 

- Have some of you ever seen such a temperature phenomenon ? 
- Do you have an idea of what happens to the 54HCT04 die ? 
- The backside of the die is left floating: do you think that we should connect 
the backside to VCC potential? 

Thank you for your help. 
Regards.
