In this paper, we propose a new sensitivity based, statistical gate sizing method. Since circuit optimization effects the entire shape of the circuit delay distribution, it is dif...

With the aggressive scaling of the CMOS technology parametric variation of the transistor threshold voltage causes significant spread in the circuit delay as well as leakage spect...
- One of the critical issues in MTCMOS design is how to estimate a circuit delay quickly. In this paper, we propose a delay modeling and static timing analysis (STA) methodology ta...
According to the current trend of increasing variations in process technologies and thus in performance, the conservative worst-case design will not work since design margins can ...
