Variation is a significant concern in nanometer-scale CMOS due to manufacturing equipment being pushed to fundamental limits, particularly in lithography. In this paper, we review...
Nanometer CMOS scaling has resulted in greatly increased circuit variability, with extremely adverse consequences on design predictability and yield. A number of recent works have...

The ITRS (International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors) predicts aggressive scaling down of device size, transistor threshold voltage and oxide thickness to meet growing de...
The scaling of CMOS technology into the nanometer era enables the fabrication of highly integrated systems, which increasingly contain analog and/or RF parts. However, scaling into...
