Static timing analysis is a critical step in design of any digital integrated circuit. Technology and design trends have led to significant increase in environmental and process v...
There is an increased dominance of intra-die process variations, creating a need for an accurate and fast statistical timing analysis. Most of the recent proposed approaches assum...
— We present a waveform based variational static timing analysis methodology. It is a timing paradigm that lies midway between convention static delay approximations and full dyn...
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...
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 "Max...
