Delay defects can escape detection during the normal production test flow, particularly if they do not affect any of the long paths included in the test flow. Some defect types ca...

The delay fault test pattern set generated by timing unaware commercial ATPG tools mostly affects very short paths, thereby increasing the escape chance of smaller delay defects. ...
This paper presents a case-study of delay defect screening applied to Fujitsu 2.16GHz SPARC64 microprocessor. A nonrobust delay test is used while each test vector is compacted to...
Faster-than-at-speed test have been proposed to detect small delay defects. While these techniques increase the test frequency to reduce the positive slack of the path, they exace...
Timing-related defects are becoming increasingly important in nanometer technology designs. Small delay variations induced by crosstalk, process variations, powersupply noise, as ...
