Simultaneous Gate Sizing and Fanout Optimization
This paper describes an algorithm for simultaneous gate sizing and fanout optimization along the timing-critical paths in a circuit. First, a continuous-variable delay model that ...

Delay Test Quality Evaluation Using Bounded Gate Delays
: Conventionally, path delay tests are derived in a delay-independent manner, which causes most faults to be robustly untestable. Many non-robust tests are found but, in practice, ...

Eliminating False Positives in Crosstalk Noise Analysis
Noise affects circuit operation by increasing gate delays and causing latches to capture incorrect values. Noise analysis techniques can detect some of such noise faults, but accu...

Statistical Timing Analysis for Intra-Die Process Variations with Spatial Correlations
Process variations have become a critical issue in performance verification of high-performance designs. We present a new, statistical timing analysis method that accounts for int...

Experimental Studies on SAT-Based ATPG for Gate Delay Faults
The clock rate of modern chips is still increasing and at the same time the gate size decreases. As a result, already slight variations during the production process may cause a f...
