Combinatorial algorithms for fast clock mesh optimization
We present a fast and efficient combinatorial algorithm to simultaneously identify the candidate locations as well as the sizes of the buffers driving a clock mesh. Due to the hi...

Robust Clock Tree Routing in the Presence of Process Variations
Abstract--Advances in very large-scale integration technology make clock skew more susceptible to process variations. Notwithstanding efficient exact zero-skew algorithms, clock sk...

Clock tree synthesis with data-path sensitivity matching
This paper investigates methods for minimizing the impact of process variation on clock skew using buffer and wire sizing. While most papers on clock trees ignore data-path circuit...

A yield improvement methodology using pre- and post-silicon statistical clock scheduling
— 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,...

Sensitivity Based Link Insertion for Variation Tolerant Clock Network Synthesis
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...
