The Monte-Carlo (MC) technique is a traditional solution for a reliable statistical analysis, and in contrast to probabilistic methods, it can account for any complicate model. How...
Process variations have become a critical issue in performance verification of high-performance designs. We present a new, statistical timing analysis method that accounts for int...
