Process variation has become a critical problem in modern VLSI fabrication. In the presence of process variation, buffer insertion problem under performance constraints becomes mo...
With the emerging process variations in fabrication, the traditional corner-based timing optimization techniques become prohibitive. Buffer insertion is a very useful technique fo...
Advanced process technologies call for a proactive consideration of process variations in design to ensure high parametric timing yield. Despite of its popular use in almost any h...
- Advanced process technologies impose more significant challenges especially when manufactured circuits exhibit substantial process variations. Consideration of process variations...
— In this work we investigate the buffer insertion problem under process variations. Sub 100-nm fabrication process causes significant variations on many design parameters. We p...
