Fast Monte Carlo Simulations For Timing Variation Analysis

By Vinod Khera - 30 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

Process variations and device mismatches profoundly affect the latest ultra-small geometrical processes. Complexity creates additional factors that impact device manufacturing variability, which in turn impact overall yield. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations use repeated random sampling to relate process variations to circuit performance and functionality, thus determining how they impact yield. How... » read more
