A new algorithm is presented that combines performance and variation objectives in a behavioural model for a given analogue circuit topology and process. The tradeoffs between per...

Abstract--Technology scaling in the nanometer era has increased the transistor's susceptibility to process variations. The effects of such variations are having a huge impact ...

We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...

Clock distribution is one of the key limiting factors in any high speed, sub-100nm VLSI design. Unwanted clock skews, caused by variation effects like manufacturing variations, po...
In this paper, we address the issue of extracting contour of the object with a specific shape. A hierarchical graphical model is proposed to represent shape variations. A complex ...
