The deep submicron (DSM) semiconductor technologies will make the worst-case design impossible, since they can not provide design margins that it requires. Research directions sho...
So far, performance and reliability of circuits have been determined by worst-case characterization of silicon and environmental noise. As new deep sub-micron technologies exacerb...
—As process variations become a significant problem in deep sub-micron technology, a shift from deterministic static timing analysis to statistical static timing analysis for hig...
A device testing method called Transient Signal Analysis (TSA) is subjected to elements of a real process and testing environment in this paper. Simulations experiments are design...
