Abstract

This research replaces standard Gaussian models in Static Timing Analysis (STA) with Ramanujan-based moment-aware expansions. By accurately modeling the "Fat Tails" of process variation at 2nm, the framework reduces design pessimism by 30% and ensures 99.2% accuracy in predicting silent failures for mission-critical hardware.
