Two approaches have been used to balance the cost of generating e ective tests for ICs and the need to increase the ICs' quality level. The rst approach favorsusing high-leve...
- As shown by previous studies, shorts between the interconnect wires should be considered as the predominant cause of failures in CMOS circuits. Fault models and tools for targeti...

In this paper we investigate optimal voltage testing approaches for physically-based faults in CMOS circuits. We describe the general nature of the problem and then focus on two f...
Real defects (e.g. stuck-at or bridging faults) in the VLSI circuits cause intermediate voltages and can not be modeled as ideal shorts. In this paper we first show that the trad...
