SRAM-based Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have fixed numbers of wires, switches and look-up tables. An application does not fully utilize all available components in a FPGA, e.g. wires. In this paper, we propose methods to improve reliability of less reliable operational interconnections by efficiently utilizing unused wires to mask errors dynamically. With these methods, we are able to improve the reliability of more than two-thirds of all interconnections in the studied MCNC benchmarks. As a result, the overall unreliability of operational interconnections decreases more than 20%.
