Timing Challenges for Very Deep Sub-Micron (VDSM) IC
2002
VLSI design (Print)
Many IC design houses failed to be market leaders because they miss the market window due to timing closure problems. Compared to half-micron designs, the amount of time spent on timing verification has greatly increased. Cell delays can be accurately estimated during logic synthesis. However, interconnect delays are unknown until the wire geometry is defined in physical design. Logic synthesis using the cell library models for interconnect delay estimates may be statistically accurate, but can
