Faster defect localization in nanometer technology based on defective cell diagnosis

M Sharma, WT Cheng, TP Tai… - 2007 IEEE …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we present practical techniques that enable diagnosis of defective library cells
in a failing die. Our technique can handle large industrial designs and practical situations …

Improving the resolution of multiple defect diagnosis by removing and selecting tests

N Wang, I Pomeranz, B Benware… - … on Defect and Fault …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Earlier works showed that the resolution of defect diagnosis when multiple defects are
present in a chip can be improved by instructing the defect diagnosis procedure to ignore …

Diagnosis of arbitrary defects using neighborhood function extraction

R Desineni, RD Blanton - … IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS'05), 2005 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a methodology for diagnosing arbitrary defects in digital integrated circuits (ICs).
Rather than using one or a set of fault models in a cause-effect or effect-cause approach, our …

Improving the accuracy of defect diagnosis by considering fewer tests

I Pomeranz - IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Experimental results indicate that the addition of diagnostic tests to a fault detection test set
may sometimes result in a larger set of candidate faults. Experimental results also indicate …

OBO: An output-by-output scoring algorithm for fault diagnosis

I Pomeranz - 2014 IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Some of the simplest and most effective fault diagnosis procedures for scan circuits use
scoring algorithms for associating a number, called a score, with every modeled fault they …

Diagnostic test generation based on subsets of faults

I Pomeranz, SM Reddy - 12th IEEE European Test Symposium …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We describe a diagnostic test generation procedure that deals with the large numbers of
target fault pairs by considering subsets of faults. Each subset of faults is targeted separately …

Dominance based analysis for large volume production fail diagnosis

B Seshadri, I Pomeranz… - 24th IEEE VLSI Test …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A procedure for using fault dominance in a large volume diagnosis environment is
described. Fault dominance is shown to be useful for reducing the fault simulation time …

D Olteanu, L Papageorgiou… - 2013 IEEE 29th …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Πgora is an integration system for probabilistic data modelled using different formalisms
such as pc-tables, Bayesian networks, and stochastic automata. User queries are expressed …

Improving the accuracy of defect diagnosis with multiple sets of candidate faults

I Pomeranz - IEEE Transactions on Computers, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Given a chip that produced a faulty output response to a test set, a defect diagnosis
procedure produces a set of candidate faults that is expected to identify the defects that are …

Diagnosis of transition fault clusters

I Pomeranz - Proceedings of the 48th Design Automation …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
When multiple defects are present in a chip, the defects may be distributed randomly, or
clustered in certain areas. When a large number of defects are clustered in an area, the …
