The number and magnitude of process variation sources are increasing as we scale further into the nano regime. Today's most successful response surface methods limit us to lo...
One of the main goals of coverage tools is to provide the user with informative presentation of coverage information. Specifically, information on large, cohesive sets of uncovere...
Noise affects circuit operation by increasing gate delays and causing latches to capture incorrect values. This paper proposes a method of characterizing correlation of signal tra...

Current Static Timing Analysis (STA) techniques allow one to verify the timing of a circuit at different process corners which only consider cases where all the supplies are low o...
The race conditions often limit the smallest feasible clock period that the optimal clock skew scheduling can achieve. Therefore, the combination of clock skew scheduling and dela...
