This book is a comprehensive guide to new DFT methods that will show the readers how to
design a testable and quality product, drive down test cost, improve product quality and …

Logic fault diagnosis or fault isolation is the process of analyzing the failing logic portions of
an integrated circuit to isolate the cause of failure. Fault diagnosis plays an important role in …

January–February 2001 AUTOMATED FAULT DIAGNOSIS is essential to the failure analysis …

For nanometer manufacturing fabrication process, it is critical to narrow down the defect
location for successful physical failure analysis. This paper presents a mixed-level diagnosis …

The paper addresses the issue of transistor-level bridging fault diagnosis. While most of the
previous bridging fault diagnosis work focuses on the gate-level bridging faults, this method …

A new diagnostic fault simulator is described that diagnoses both feedback and
nonfeedback bridge faults in combinational circuits while using information from fault …

The foremost problem in VLSI fault diagnosis is the problem of data: there's simply too much
of it. Circuits are large and contain enormous numbers of faults of many types. Full-response …

Circuit behavior in the presence of bridge defects is affected by three factors: bridge
resistance, drive strength of bridged signals and the threshold voltages of downstream …

Automated fault diagnosis based on the stuck-at fault model is not always effective. This
paper presents practical experiences in applying a bridging fault based diagnosis technique …

We present an efficient algorithm for identification of two-line bridges in combinational
CMOS logic that narrows down the two-line bridge candidates based on tester responses for …
