Claim 15:
16. The integrated circuit device of claim 15, wherein each of the plurality of delay paths includes:
a delay cell having a first input and a first output, the first input being connected to the input of the driving buffer and configured to delay the input signal by a respective amount of time; and
a driver having a second input and a second output, the second input being connected to the first output of the delay cell, and the second output being connected to the output of the driving buffer, the driver comprising a fin field-effect transistor (“FinFET”) having a respective number of fingers,
wherein the numbers of fingers for the FinFETs in at least two of the drivers are different from each other.
