Timing-driven variation-aware nonuniform clock mesh synthesis
Clock skew variations adversely affect timing margins, limiting performance, reducing yield, and may also lead to functional faults. Non-tree clock distribution networks, such as ...

Sensitivity Based Link Insertion for Variation Tolerant Clock Network Synthesis
Clock distribution is one of the key limiting factors in any high speed, sub-100nm VLSI design. Unwanted clock skews, caused by variation effects like manufacturing variations, po...
