Manufacturing process variations lead to variability in circuit delay and, if not accounted for, can cause excessive timing yield loss. The familiar traditional approaches to timin...
The growing impact of within-die process variation has created the need for statistical timing analysis, where gate delays are modeled as random variables. Statistical timing anal...

Shrinking feature sizes and process variations are of increasing concern in modern technology. It is urgent that we develop statistical interconnect timing models which are harmon...
Statistical timing analysis has been widely applied to predict the timing yield of VLSI circuits when process variations become significant. Existing statistical latch timing met...
Chips manufactured in 90 nm technology have shown large parametric variations, and a worsening trend is predicted. These parametric variations make circuit optimization difficult ...
