Clock distribution is one of the key limiting factors in any high speed, sub-100nm VLSI design. Unwanted clock skews, caused by variation effects like manufacturing variations, po...
The inductance effects become significant for sub-100nm process designs due to increasing interconnect lengths, lower interconnect resistance values and fast signal transition tim...
