Abstract(in English) The deep submicron semiconductor technologies have increased process variations. They make worst-case designs impossible. This is because larger variations require larger design margins. In order to realize robust designs, we have to design LSIs by considering typical-cases rather than worst cases. We are investigating such a typical-case design methodology, which we call Constructive Timing Violation (CTV). In order to evaluate the CTV, we have to consider circuit delay. We build a co-simulation environment by combining gate level simulation with architectural level simulation. We evaluate the CTV and its enhanced techniques by the co-simulation environment.
