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...
Clock networks contribute a significant fraction of dynamic power and can be a limiting factor in high-performance CPUs and SoCs. The need for multi-objective optimization over a l...
This paper presents a methodology for the statistical analysis of clock tree structures. It allows to accurately predict and analyze the impact of process variation on clock skew....

With its advantages in wirelength reduction and routing flexibility compared with Manhattan routing, X-architecture has been proposed and applied to modern IC design. As a critic...
Abstract-- Nanometer VLSI systems demand robust clock distribution network design for increased process and operating condition variabilities. In this paper, we propose minimum clo...
