A hierarchical test generation method is presented that uses the inherent hierarchical structure of the circuit under test and takes fault diagnosability into account right from t...
Abstract—Built-In Self-Test (BIST) is less often applied to random logic than to embedded memories due to the following reasons: Firstly, for a satisfiable fault coverage it may...
— Delay failures are becoming a dominant failure mechanism in nanometer technologies. Diagnosis of such failures is important to ensure yield and robustness of the design. Howeve...
Abstract : A novel design methodology for test pattern generation in BIST is presented. Here faults and errors in the generator itself are detected. Two different design methodolog...

We describe a method for on-chip generation of weighted test sequences for synchronous sequential circuits. For combinational circuits, three weights, 0, 0.5 and 1, are sufficien...
