Shrinking feature sizes and process variations are of increasing concern in modern technology. It is urgent that we develop statistical interconnect timing models which are harmon...
Process variations have become a key concern of circuit designers because of their significant, yet hard to predict impact on performance and signal integrity of VLSI circuits. St...
We study gate delay variation caused by crosstalk aggressor alignment, i.e., difference of signal arrival times in coupled neighboring interconnects. This effect is as significan...
Abstract--The current trend in high performance computing is to aggregate ever larger numbers of processing and interconnection elements in order to achieve desired levels of compu...
