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...
— State of the art statistical timing analysis (STA) tools often yield less accurate results when timing variables become correlated due to global source of variations and path r...

Recent study shows that the existing first order canonical timing model is not sufficient to represent the dependency of the gate delay on the variation sources when processing an...

Abstract— This paper presents an allocation method of decoupling capacitance that explicitly considers timing. We have found and focused that decap does not necessarily improve a...
