Abstract

The described systems and methods can facilitate examination of device parameters including analysis of relatively dominant characteristic impacts on delays. In one embodiment, at least some coupling components (e.g., metal layer wires, traces, lines, etc.) have a relatively dominant impact on delays and the delay is in part a function of both capacitance and resistance of the coupling component. In one embodiment, a system comprises a plurality of dominant characteristic oscillating rings, wherein each respective one of the plurality of dominant characteristic oscillating rings includes a respective dominant characteristic. Additional analysis can be performed correlating the dominant characteristic delay impact results with device fabrication and operation.
