Comparison of Effectiveness of Current Ratio and Delta-IDDQ Tests
IDDQ test is a valuable test method for semiconductor manufacturers. However, its effectiveness is reduced for deep sub-micron technology chips due to rising background leakage. C...

Detection of Resistive Shorts in Deep Sub-micron Technologies
Current-based tests are the most effective methods available to detect resistive shorts. Delta IDDQ testing is the most sensitive variant and can handle off-state currents of 10-1...

Current ratios: a self-scaling technique for production IDDQ testing
The use of a single pass/fail threshold for IDDQ testing is unworkable as chip background currents increase to the point where they exceed many defect currents. This paper describ...

CROWNE: Current Ratio Outliers with Neighbor Estimator
Increased leakage and process variations make distinction between fault-free and faulty chips by IDDQ test difficult. Earlier the concept of Current Ratios (CR) was proposed to sc...

Neighbor Current Ratio (NCR): A New Metric for IDDQ Data Analysis
IDDQ test loses its effectiveness for deep sub-micron chips since it cannot distinguish between faulty and fault-free currents. The concept of current ratios, in which the ratio o...
