چکیده

Among the different types of algorithms proposed to test Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs), March Tests have proven to be faster, simpler and regularly structured. A large number of March Tests with different fault coverage have been published. Usually different march tests detect only a specific set of memory faults. The always growing memory production technology introduces new classes of fault, making a key hurdle the generation of new march tests. The aim of this paper is to target the whole set of realistic fault model and to provide a unique march test able to reduce the test complexity of 15.4% than state-of-the-art march algorithm.

Politecnico di Torino Porto Institutional Repository [ Proceeding ] A 22 n March Test for Realistic Static Linked Faults in SRAMs

Linked Faults are considered an interesting class of memory faults. Their capability of influencing the behavior of other faults causes the hiding of the fault effect and makes test algorithm design a very complex task. Although several March Tests have been developed for the wide memory faults spread, a few of them are able to detect linked faults. In the present paper March AB, a March Test t...

Realistic Static Linked Faults and Dynamic Faults in SRAMs

Memory testing commonly faces two issues: the characterization of detailed and realistic fault models, and the definition of time-efficient test algorithms able to detect them. Among the different types of algorithms proposed for testing Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs), march tests have proven to be faster, simpler and regularly structured. The continuous evolution of the memory technolog...

Efficient Tests for Realistic Faults in Dual-Port SRAMs

ÐThis paper begins with an overview of realistic fault models for dual-port memories, divided into single-port faults and faults unique for dual-port memories. The latter faults cannot be detected with the conventional single-port memory tests; they require special tests. A precise notation for all faults, such that ambiguities and misunderstandings will be prevented, has been emphasized. Next,...

Reducing Test Time of Embedded SRAMs

Compared with traditional functional fault models, fault model obtained from an Inductive Fault Analysis (IFA) test flow can provide an attractive basis for obtaining a good estimate of the overall test quality in terms of defect level and yield. However, the associated surging test time due to increased SRAM capacity is becoming a major challenge when testing either standalone or embedded SRAM...
