With aggressive scaling down of feature sizes in VLSI fabrication, process variation has become a critical issue in designs. We show that two necessary conditions for the "Ma...
Abstract— This paper presents an allocation method of decoupling capacitance that explicitly considers timing. We have found and focused that decap does not necessarily improve a...
Recent study shows that the existing first order canonical timing model is not sufficient to represent the dependency of the gate delay on the variation sources when processing an...

Abstract. The continuous miniaturization of semiconductor devices imposes serious threats to design robustness against process variations and environmental fluctuations. Modern ci...
