Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) As process technologies advance, process and delay variation causes a complex timing design and in-situ timing error correction techniques are strongly required. Suspicious timing error prediction (STEP) predicts timing errors by monitoring checkpoints by STEP circuits (STEPCs) and how to insert checkpoints is very important. We have proposed a network-flow-based checkpoint insertion algorithm for STEP.However, our algorithm may ignore long paths and insert checkpoints near the output. In this paper, we improve how to ignore short paths and set labels by estimating path lengths.Then, we can ignore only short paths and insert checkpoints into near the center of all long paths. We evaluate our algorithm by applying it to four benchmark circuits. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm realizes an average of 1.71X overclocking compared with just inserting no STEPC. Furthermore, our improved algorithm realizes an average of 1.15X overclocking compared with our original algorithm.
