Abstract
Improving the timing and/or yield of a circuit design is disclosed. Timing and yield improvements are often competing objectives in circuit design since timing improvements typically result from reducing capacitive couplings and yield improvements typically increase capacitive couplings. Trade-offs between timing and yield improvements are consequently part of the circuit design and/or optimization process.
