Abstract(in English) Since the variability of design parameters increases in deep sub-micron era, the statistical static timing analysis, which analyzes the distribution of the maximum delay of a given combinatorial circuit, becomes important to design high speed and low power VLSIs. In the statistical static timing analysis, various correlation coefficients are taken into consideration in order to increase accuracy. In this paper, we first propose an algorithm to calculate the correlation coefficient between interconnect delays in a net. Then, we consider other correlations such as switching delays in a gate and the one caused by inter-die variabilities, and investigate the effect of these correlations on the distribution of the maximum delay.
