Abstract(in English) With the advent of super deep submicron age, the circuit behavior has large variation according to the process variation. Power grid optimization which considers the timing error risk caused by the variation becomes very important for the stable and fast operation of the system. Conventionally, a lot of power grid optimization algorithms has been proposed, and most of them use the IR drop as their object function. However, the IR drop is an indirect metric and we suspect if it were ambiguous metric for the real goral of the design. This paper proposed an approach which uses the "timing error risk caused by the IR drop" as its direct objective function. Experimental results shows the effectivity.
