Shrinking feature sizes and process variations are of increasing concern in modern technology. It is urgent that we develop statistical interconnect timing models which are harmon...
With aggressive scaling down of feature sizes in VLSI fabrication, process variation has become a critical issue in designs. We show that two necessary conditions for the "Max...
