In the way they cope with variability, present-day methodologies are onerous, pessimistic and risky, all at the same time! Dealing with variability is an increasingly important as...
Variability of circuit performance is becoming a very important issue for ultra-deep sub-micron technology. Gate length variation has the most direct impact on circuit performance...
With the advent of deep-submicron technologies, it has become essential to model the impact of physical/layout effects up front in all design flows [1]. The effect of layout paras...
We demonstrate how to use placement to ameliorate the predicted repeater explosion problem caused by poor interconnect scaling. We achieve repeater count reduction by dynamically ...
