—Considering process variability at the behavior synthesis level is necessary, because it makes some instances of function units slower and others faster, resulting in unbalanced...
With technology scaling down to 90nm and below, many yield-driven design and optimization methodologies have been proposed to cope with the prominent process variation and to incr...

As technology scales to 40nm and beyond, intra-die process variability will cause large delay and leakage variations across a chip in addition to expected die-to-die variations. I...

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...
Variations in the semiconductor fabrication process results in variability in parameters between transistors on the same die, a problem exacerbated by lithographic scaling. The re...
