Abstract

A significant portion of process variations are purely random in nature [122]. As a result, variation-aware design methodologies and statistical computer-aided design (CAD) tools are widely believed to be the key to mitigating some of the challenges for 45 nm technologies and beyond [148, 122]. Variational considerations have to be incorporated into every step of the design and verification processes to ensure reliable chips and profitable manufacturing yields.
