    This paper proposes a model to calculate statistical gate-delay variation caused by intra-chip and inter-chip variabilities. The variation of each gate delay directly influences the circuit-delay variation, so it is important to characterize each gate-delay variation accurately. Every transistor in a gate affects transient characteristics of the gate, so it is indispensable to consider an intra-gate variability for the modeling of gate-delay variation. This effect is not captured in a statistical delay analysis reported so far. Our model considers the intra-gate variability by sensitivity constants. We evaluate our modeling accuracy, and we show some simulated results of a circuit delay variation.
