—With the scaling of complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor (CMOS) technology into the nanometer regime, the overshooting effect due to the input-to-output coupling capacit...
- In this paper, we present an algorithm for gate sizing with controlled displacement to improve the overall circuit timing. We use a path-based delay model to capture the timing c...
PSP and the backward propagation of variance (BPV) method are used to characterize the statistical variations of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). BPV s...
