Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) has become a key method for analyzing the effect of process variation in aggressively scaled CMOS technologies. Much research has focused...
SSTA has received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. However, it is a general rule that any approach can only be as accurate as the underlying models. Thus, varia...

While the increasing need for addressing process variability in sub-90nm VLSI technologies has sparkled a large body of statistical timing and optimization research, the realizati...
— Statistical static timing analysis deals with the increasing variations in manufacturing processes to reduce the pessimism in the worst case timing analysis. Because of the cor...
