Abstract :
The Liberty Format is an open source industry standard for library modeling that has seen significant enhancement in recent years to address the challenges introduced by the new smaller technologies at 65 nm and below. Issues associated with modeling Timing, Power and Noise have seen an explosion in complexity. The paper discusses the challenges introduced by the new high accuracy models and techniques to ameliorate them for Library providers.
