Robust Clock Tree Routing in the Presence of Process Variations
Abstract--Advances in very large-scale integration technology make clock skew more susceptible to process variations. Notwithstanding efficient exact zero-skew algorithms, clock sk...

TACO: temperature aware clock-tree optimization
— In this paper, an efficient linear time algorithm TACO is proposed for the first time to minimize the worst case clock skew in the presence of on-chip thermal variation. TACO...

Process-induced skew reduction in nominal zero-skew clock trees
— This work develops an analytic framework for clock tree analysis considering process variations that is shown to correspond well with Monte Carlo results. The analysis framewor...

Clock tree synthesis with data-path sensitivity matching
This paper investigates methods for minimizing the impact of process variation on clock skew using buffer and wire sizing. While most papers on clock trees ignore data-path circuit...

Local clock skew minimization using blockage-aware mixed tree-mesh clock network
Clock network construction is one key problem in high performance VLSI design. Reducing the clock skew variation is one of the most important objectives during clock network synthe...
