—Time-dependent performance degradation due to transistor aging caused by mechanisms such as Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) and Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) is one o...
Manufacturing disturbances are inevitable in the fabrication of integrated circuits. These disturbances will result in variations in the delay specications of manufactured circui...
— Recent advances in statistical timing analysis (SSTA) achieve great success in computing arrival times under variations by extending sum and maximum operations to random variab...
Operating frequency of a pipelined circuit is determined by the delay of the slowest pipeline stage. However, under statistical delay variation in sub-100nm technology regime, the...
