Abstract
A method includes grouping cells with similar topological characteristics into a family of cells, the topological characteristics being defined in part by topological layouts of transistors in the respective cells in the family of cells; and computing data characterizing a relationship between a variability of delay and a magnitude of delay shared among the cells in the family of cells.
