Properties of Variable N-detection Functional Delay Fault Tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis how the functional fault tests detect structural faults at gate-level shows that the stuck-at fault coverage is much higher than transition fault coverage. The aim of the paper is to discover the reasons of this phenomenon and to propose the techniques of functional delay test quality improvement. We suggest, by transformation of pin pair test into functional delay test, to use variable number of fault detections. The performed experiments show the effectiveness of the introduced approach.

Impact of Functional Delay Test Compaction on Transition Fault Coverage
Compact test sets are very important for degrading the cost of testing the very large-scale integrated circuits by reducing the test application time. Small test sets also lessen the test storage requirements. The only way to compact functional delay fault tests is to enable multi-input transitions in test pattern pairs. The goal of the paper is to analyze the impact of multi-input transitions ...
متن کاملApplication of Functional Delay Tests for Testing of Transition Faults and vice Versa
Rapid advances of semiconductor technology lead to higher circuit integration as well as higher operating frequencies. The statistical variations of the parameters during the manufacturing process as well as physical defects in integrated circuits can sometimes degrade circuit performance without altering its logic functionality. These faults are called delay faults. In this paper we consider t...
متن کاملThe Coupling Model for Function and Delay Faults
We propose a high-level fault model, the coupling fault (CF) model, that aims to cover both functional and timing faults in an integrated way. The basic properties of CFs and the corresponding tests are analyzed, focusing on their relationship with other fault models and their test requirements. A test generation program COTEGE for CFs is presented. Experiments with COTEGE are described which s...
