— Lithographic variability and its impact on printability is a major concern in today’s semiconductor manufacturing process. To address sub-wavelength printability, a number of...
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...
Standard cells are fundamental circuit building blocks designed at very early design stages. Nanometer standard cells are prone to lithography proximity and process variations. Ho...

In nanometer regime, the effects of variations are having an increasing impact on the delay and power characteristics of devices as well as the yield of the circuit. Statistical t...
This paper studies the impact of variability on the noise robustness of logic gates using noise rejection curves (NRCs). NRCs allow noise pulses to be modeled using magnitude-dura...
