A common approach to performance optimization of circuits focuses on re-synthesis to reduce the length of all paths greater than the desired delay . We describe a new delay optimi...
— Statistical static timing analysis deals with the increasing variations in manufacturing processes to reduce the pessimism in the worst case timing analysis. Because of the cor...

— For 65nm and below devices, even after optical proximity correction (OPC), the gate may still be non-rectangular. There are several limited works on the device and circuit char...
With aggressive gate oxide scaling, latent defects in the gate oxide manifest as traps that, in time, lead to gate oxide breakdown. Progressive gate oxide breakdown, also referred...
