With the rapid move to ultradeep submicron designs and feature size processes of 0.13 micron and below, ensuring the integrity of signals as they traverse conductors on a chip is becoming a challenge.

Static Timing Analysis (STA) is a key factor to validate while manufacturing a chip, where each design must go for setup and hold validation. In today’s era, technology nodes are shrinking and ...

Static timing analysis is a technique of computing of cell delay and interconnect delay in design (known as path delay) and comparing it against constrain (timing specific) set in SDC file. This paper ...
