Efficient and accurate gate sizing with piecewise convex delay models
We present an efficient and accurate gate sizing tool that employs a novel piecewise convex delay model, handling both rise and fall delays, for static CMOS gates. The delay model...

A Geometric Programming-Based Worst Case Gate Sizing Method Incorporating Spatial Correlation
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...
