Due to the rapidly growing speed and the decreasing size of gates in modern chips, the probability of faults caused by the production process grows. Already small variations lead ...
Abstract As technology scales down into the nanometer era, delay testing of modern chips has become more and more important. Tests for the path delay fault model are widely used to...
Due to the increased speed in modern designs, testing for delay faults has become an important issue in the postproduction test of manufactured chips. A high fault coverage is nee...
This paper develops new techniques for detecting both stuck-open faults and resistive open faults, which result in increased delays along some paths. The improved detection of CMO...
When testing delay faults on critical paths, conventional structural test patterns may be applied in functionally-unreachable states, leading to over-testing or under-testing of t...
