Static timing analysis is critical in ensuring timing closure in current IC designs. Additional pessimism(a procedure to observe the wrong aspects in the design), on

When designing integrated circuits (ICs), electrical engineers must consider propagation delay in VLSI CMOS design. The propagation delay of a logic gate is defined as

Routing in VLSI is making physical connections between signal pins using metal layers. Following Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS) and optimization, the routing step determines the

Metastability in VLSI is an unstable equilibrium occurrence in digital electronics in which the sequential element is unable to resolve the state of the input

Electromigration in VLSI physical design is a major concern, particularly at lower technology nodes where the cross-sectional area of metal interconnects is relatively small. If

As we dig deep into lower technology nodes in IC (integrated circuit) design, we always witness a downscale of design relative to earlier technology nodes.
