— In deep sub-micron technologies, process variations can cause significant path delay and clock skew uncertainties thereby lead to timing failure and yield loss. In this paper,...

With its advantages in wirelength reduction and routing flexibility compared with Manhattan routing, X-architecture has been proposed and applied to modern IC design. As a critic...
Clock network is a vulnerable victim of variations as well as a main power consumer in many integrated circuits. Recently, link-based non-tree clock network attracts people's...
This paper considers the problem of determining an optimal clock skew schedule for a synchronous VLSI circuit. A novel formulation of clock skew scheduling as a constrained quadrat...
