As the minimum feature sizes of VLSI circuits get smaller while the clock frequency increases, the effects of process variations become significant. We propose a UST/DME based ap...
Abstract—Power/ground noise is a major source of VLSI circuit timing variations. This work aims to reduce clock network induced power noise by assigning different signal polariti...
This paper investigates retiming and clock skew scheduling for improving the tolerance of synchronous circuits to delay variations. It is shown that when both long and short paths...
Interconnect delays are increasingly becoming the dominant source of performance degradation in the nano-meter regime, largely because the wires do not scale as fast as the device...

Due to skewed scaling of interconnect delay and cell delay with technology scaling, modern VLSI timing closure requires use of extensive buffer insertion. Inserting a large number...
