With shrinking technology, the timing variation of a digital circuit is becoming the most important factor while designing a functionally reliable circuit. Gate sizing has emerged...
The verification of modern computing systems has grown to dominate the cost of system design, often with limited success as designs continue to be released with latent bugs. This t...
− In this paper, we present a new timing-driven placement algorithm, which attempts to minimize zigzags and crisscrosses on the timing-critical paths of a circuit. We observed th...
As technology scales down, timing verification of digital integrated circuits becomes an increasingly challenging task due to the gate and wire variability. Therefore, statistical...
— A substrate-coupling equivalent circuit can be derived for an arbitrary guard ring test structure by way of F-matrix computation. The derived netlist represents a unified impe...
