Analytical Bound for Unwanted Clock Skew due to Wire Width Variation
Under modern VLSI technology, process variations greatly affect circuit performance, especially clock skew which is very timing sensitive. Unwanted skew due to process variation f...

Worst-case circuit delay taking into account power supply variations
Current Static Timing Analysis (STA) techniques allow one to verify the timing of a circuit at different process corners which only consider cases where all the supplies are low o...
