Specifying the worst case: orthogonal modeling of hardware errors
During testing, the execution of valid cases is only one part of the task. Checking the behavior in boundary situations and in the presence of errors is an equally important subje...

A Model for Timing Errors in Processors with Parameter Variation
Parameter variation in integrated circuits causes sections of a chip to be slower than others. To prevent any resulting timing errors, designers have traditionally designed for th...

A novel methodology for statistical parameter extraction
IC manufacturing process variations are typically expressed in terms of joint probability density functions (jpdf’s) or as worst case combinations/corners of the device model pa...

Handling partial correlations in yield prediction
In nanometer regime, IC designs have to consider the impact of process variations, which is often indicated by manufacturing/parametric yield. This paper investigates a yield model...
