Current Static Timing Analysis (STA) techniques allow one to verify the timing of a circuit at different process corners which only consider cases where all the supplies are low o...
The inductance effects become significant for sub-100nm process designs due to increasing interconnect lengths, lower interconnect resistance values and fast signal transition tim...

The problem of computing functions of values at the nodes in a network in a fully distributed manner, where nodes do not have unique identities and make decisions based only on loc...
Current source based cell models are becoming a necessity for accurate timing and noise analysis at 65nm and below. Voltage waveform shapes are increasingly more difficult to repr...
