With the emerging process variations in fabrication, the traditional corner-based timing optimization techniques become prohibitive. Buffer insertion is a very useful technique fo...
Clock meshes are extremely effective at filtering clock skew from environmental and process variations. For this reason, clock meshes are used in most high performance designs. Ho...
In nanometer regime, the effects of process variations are dominating circuit performance, power and reliability of circuits. Hence, it is important to properly manage variation e...
In this paper, we propose a novel on-chip voltage drop reduction technique for on-chip power delivery networks of VLSI systems in the presence of variational leakage current sourc...
As VLSI technology scales toward 65nm and beyond, both timing and power performance of integrated circuits are increasingly affected by process variations. In practice, people oft...
