Abstract:
Creating by a computer an integrated circuit with non-linear variations, the computer identifies an integrated circuit design; identifies a timing model associated with the identified integrated circuit design; defines one or more static single sided variables; defines one or more regions of the defined one or more static single sided variables that are treated linearly; defines one or more multi-sided variables based on the defined one or more regions of the defined one or more static single sided variables; identifies one or more timing paths within the identified integrated circuit design; performs a statistical static timing analysis on the identified timing model for the identified one or more timing paths within the identified integrated circuit design utilizing the defined one or more multi-sided variables; provides one or more timing quantities that project within a multi-parameter space based on the performed statistical static timing analysis.
