A Geometric Programming-Based Worst Case Gate Sizing Method Incorporating Spatial Correlation
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...

Efficient and accurate gate sizing with piecewise convex delay models
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...
