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...
— As technology scales into the sub-90nm domain, manufacturing variations become an increasingly significant portion of circuit delay. As a result, delays must be modeled as sta...

In this paper, we propose a new sensitivity based, statistical gate sizing method. Since circuit optimization effects the entire shape of the circuit delay distribution, it is dif...

This paper is about gate sizing under a statistical delay model. It shows we can solve the gate sizing problem exactly for a given statistical delay model. The formulation used al...
