Based on a timing yield model, a statistical static timing analysis technique is proposed. This technique preserves existing methodology by selecting a “device file setting” ...
Statistical Static Timing Analysis has received wide attention recently and emerged as a viable technique for manufacturability analysis. To be useful, however, it is important th...
In the nanometer manufacturing region, process variation causes significant uncertainty for circuit performance verification. Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) is thus dev...
