TL;DR: A canonical first-order delay model that takes into account both correlated and independent randomness is proposed, and the first incremental statistical timer in the literature is reported, suitable for use in the inner loop of physical synthesis or other optimization programs.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for covering multiple selective timing corners in a single statistical timing run is described, where a single timing analysis is run on the full parameter space that covers unlimited process parameters/environment conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for statistical slew propagation in static statistical timing analysis, which includes projecting a canonical approximation of an input slew over a timing path to a first corner and using the projected input slew to calculate a delay and an output slew at the first corner.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of applying common path credit in a static timing analysis in the presence of correlations between asserted arrival times is proposed, comprising the steps of using a computer, identifying one or more pairs of asserted arrival time for which one or multiple correlations exist, propagating to each of the one or several pairs of assertion times a timing value dependent on the one-or more correlations, and performing a subsequent common path pessimism removal analysis for at least one test during which the timing value depends on the correlations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system and method for adjustment of modeled timing data variation as a function of past state and/or switching history during static timing analysis, which is based on a block-based static analysis.
