Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a gate-length biasing methodology for optimizing integrated digital circuits are described. The gate-length biasing methodology replaces a nominal gate-length of a transistor with a biased gate-length, where the biased gate-length includes a bias length that is small compared to the nominal gate-length. In an exemplary embodiment, the bias length is less than 10% of the nominal gate-length.
