A linear-time approach for static timing analysis covering all process corners
Abstract—Manufacturing process variations lead to circuit timing variability and a corresponding timing yield loss. Traditional corner analysis consists of checking all process c...

Yield prediction for 3D capacitive interconnections
Capacitive interconnections are very promising structures for high-speed and low-power signaling in 3D packages. Since the performance of AC links, in terms of Band-Width and Bit-...

System-wide energy minimization for real-time tasks: lower bound and approximation
We present a dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) technique that minimizes system-wide energy consumption for both periodic and sporadic tasks. It is known that a system consists of proc...

Joint design-time and post-silicon minimization of parametric yield loss using adjustable robust optimization
Parametric yield loss due to variability can be effectively reduced by both design-time optimization strategies and by adjusting circuit parameters to the realizations of variable...
