This research introduces a novel Timing Analysis Agent that automates the debugging of complex integrated circuit timing issues, reducing human effort and accelerating chip design processes.

• Creates a Timing Debug Relation Graph to model intricate relationships in timing paths
• Employs autonomous reasoning to identify and debug timing violations across multiple scenarios
• Reduces the turn-around-time for timing verification as circuit complexity increases
• Addresses growing challenges in modern semiconductor fabrication with smaller metal pitches

For engineering teams, this innovation helps overcome verification bottlenecks that typically require experienced human designers, potentially streamlining the path from design to fabrication readiness in semiconductor production.
