Thus, zero skew suffers from a considerable skew in practice. Also, all the previous works have been done under the assumption that a single clock source drives all the sinks distributed in the whole chip. As a result, excessive delays are introduced by the long interconnect wires between the clock source and the clock sinks. Recently Chung and Cheng [7] proposed a method of reducing the skew sensitivity and phase delay by inserting buffers. They considered wire width variations to achieve a reliable clock signal and proposed an ef cient algorithm by adopting a dynamic programming method in nding optimal buffer locations in the clock tree. Lin et al. [12] presented a process variation tolerant clock routing mechanism.
