Abstract

Statistical Timing Analysis (SSTA) is a method that calculates circuit delay statistically with process parameter variations, die-to-die (D2D) and within-die (WID) variations. In this paper, we model that WID parameter variations are independent for each cell and line in a chip and D2D variations are governed by one variation on a chip. We propose a new method of computing a full chip delay distribution considering both D2D and WID parameter variations. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more accurate than previous methods on actual chip designs.
