Abstract— Continuing scaling of CMOS technology has allowed aggressive pursuant of increased clock rate in DSM chips. The ever shorter clock period has made switching times of di...
Abstract—Manufacturing process variations lead to circuit timing variability and a corresponding timing yield loss. Traditional corner analysis consists of checking all process c...
Statistical Static Timing Analysis has received wide attention recently and emerged as a viable technique for manufacturability analysis. To be useful, however, it is important th...
