Abstract:
Examples of techniques for statistical static timing analysis of an integrated circuit are disclosed. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method for statistical static timing analysis of an integrated circuit is provided. The method may comprise identifying a timing parameter that contributes to a delay calculation. The method may further comprise determining, by a processing device, whether the identified timing parameter significantly impacts the delay calculation. The method may also comprise, responsive to determining that the identified timing parameter does not significantly impact the delay calculation, avoiding a sensitivity calculation for the identified timing parameter.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method for sensitivity calculation filtering for statistical static timing analysis of an integrated circuit, the method comprising:\n identifying a timing parameter that contributes to a delay calculation; determining, by a processing device, whether the identified timing parameter significantly impacts the delay calculation; responsive to determining that the identified timing parameter does not significantly impact the delay calculation, avoiding a sensitivity calculation for the identified timing parameter, wherein avoiding the sensitivity calculation occurs instead of perturbing the timing parameter and performing a full sensitivity calculation for the timing parameter; and responsive to determining that the identified timing parameter does significantly impact the delay calculation, perturbing the timing parameter and performing a full sensitivity calculation for the timing parameter, wherein the identified timing parameter that does not significantly impact the delay calculation is implemented in the integrated circuit and provided to a fabrication facility for manufacturing the integrated circuit.
