Based on a timing yield model, a statistical static timing analysis technique is proposed. This technique preserves existing methodology by selecting a “device file setting” ...
—We present a new technique for statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), that allows fast and accurate estimation of the right-hand tai...

— As technology scales into the sub-90nm domain, manufacturing variations become an increasingly significant portion of circuit delay. As a result, delays must be modeled as sta...

Power minimization under variability is formulated as a rigorous statistical robust optimization program with a guarantee of power and timing yields. Both power and timing metrics...
Variations in the semiconductor fabrication process results in variability in parameters between transistors on the same die, a problem exacerbated by lithographic scaling. The re...
