Modeling and simulation of real defects using fuzzy logic
Real defects (e.g. stuck-at or bridging faults) in the VLSI circuits cause intermediate voltages and can not be modeled as ideal shorts. In this paper we first show that the trad...

TACO: timing analysis with coupling
: The impact of coupling capacitance on delay is usually estimated by scaling the coupling capacitances (often by a factor of 2) and modeling them as grounded. This simple approach...
