Abstract
In one embodiment, the invention is a method and apparatus for table-lookup-based models for yield analysis acceleration. One embodiment of a method for statistically evaluating a design of an integrated circuit includes simulating the integrated circuit and generating a lookup table for use in the simulating, the lookup table comprising one or more blocks that specify a device element for an associated bias voltage, wherein the generating comprises generating only those of the one or more blocks that specify the device element for a bias voltage that is required during the simulating.
