Explicit gate delay model for timing evaluation
Delay evaluation is always a crucial concern in the VLSI design and it becomes increasingly more critical in the nowadays deep-submicron technology. To obtain an accurate delay va...

Construction of realistic gate sizing benchmarks with known optimal solutions
Gate sizing in VLSI design is a widely-used method for power or area recovery subject to timing constraints. Several previous works have proposed gate sizing heuristics for power ...

Robust gate sizing by geometric programming
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Using a posynomial delay model, the delay constraints are modified to incorporat...
