—Variations of process parameters have an important impact on reliability and yield in deep sub micron IC technologies. One methodology to estimate the influence of these effects...
— As technology scales into the sub-90nm domain, manufacturing variations become an increasingly significant portion of circuit delay. As a result, delays must be modeled as sta...

This paper presents a statistic-based approach for evaluating the testability of nodes in combinational circuits. This testability measurement is obtained via Monte Carlo simulati...
Statistical timing analysis needs a priori knowledge of process variations. Lack of such a priori knowledge of process variations prevents accurate statistical timing analysis, fo...
