SoftCorner: Relaxation of Corner Values for Deterministic Static Timing Analysis of VLSI Systems

We propose SoftCorner, which is a novel approach to estimate the worst delay (3σ delay) of a VLSI system. SoftCorner is a modification of deterministic static timing analysis to overcome its tendency to give pessimistic estimates of the system delays when it uses 3σ corner dela...
