    Process variation has become prominent in the advanced CMOS technology, making the timing of fabricated circuits more uncertain. In this paper, we propose a Layout-Aware Path Selection (LAPS) technique to accurately estimate the circuit timing variation from a small set of paths. Three features of paths are considered during the path selection. Experiments conducted on benchmark circuits with process variation simulated with VARIUS show that, by selecting only hundreds of paths, the fitting errors of timing distribution are kept below 5.3% when both spatial correlated and spatial uncorrelated process variations exist.
