    摘要: In a method of estimating a leakage current in a semiconductor device, a chip including a plurality of cells is divided into segments by a grid model. Spatial correlation is determined as spatial correlation between process parameters concerned with the leakage currents in each of the cells. A virtual cell leakage characteristic function of a cell is generated by arithmetically operating actual leakage characteristic functions. A segment leakage characteristic function of a segment is generated by arithmetically operating the virtual cell leakage characteristic functions of all cells in the segment. Then, a full chip leakage characteristic function of the chip is generated by statistically operating the segment leakage characteristic functions of all segments in the chip. Accordingly, computational loads of Wilkinson's method for generating the full chip leakage characteristic function can remarkably be reduced.

    摘要: Provided is a method of optimizing statistical timing of an integration circuit, the method including applying subtle changes of mean arrival times with respect to each of nodes in a timing graph of an integrated circuit to ADD operations and MAX operations of a block-based statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) method and approximating the corresponding operations; generating Jacobian matrixes between each node by using matrix components including differential coefficients calculated during linear approximation of the operations; calculating changed arrival time values of the circuit by propagating the Jacobian matrixes from a virtual sink node to a virtual source node; and calculating timing yield criticalities, which are variances of timing yield of the circuit due to subtle changes of mean arrival times with respect to each node, based on values obtained by the propagation. Accordingly, timing yield criticality is calculated based on linear approximation of ADD operations and MAX operations of statistical static timing analysis (SSTA), and thus the calculation complexity is linear with respect to the total number of nodes, and critical nodes significantly affecting the timing yield of a circuit can be extracted more accurately.
