Simultaneous Buffer Insertion and Wire Sizing Considering Systematic CMP Variation and Random $L_{\rm eff}$ Variation

Experiments under conservative assumption on process variation show that SBWF algorithm obtains 1.6% timing improvement over the variation-unaware solution. [...] our statistical vSBWF algorithm results in 43.1% yield improvement on average.
