Abstract :
This paper presents a delay/slope budgeting method for clock buffers design in the standard cell library. The key idea is to include the skew estimation during the budgeting process. Within-die random variations such as the polyCD WL process, temperature and supply voltage are considered in the skew simulation for a 0.13 μm process
