An effective technique to save power during scan based test is to switch off unused scan chains. The results obtained with this method strongly depend on the mapping of scan flip-...

Many STUMPS architectures found in current chip designs allow disabling of individual scan chains for debug and diagnosis. In a recent paper it has been shown that this feature can...

Software-based self-test (SBST) is emerging as a promising technology for enabling at-speed test of high-speed microprocessors using low-cost testers. We explore the fault diagnos...
Reseeding is used to improve fault coverage of pseudorandom testing. The seed corresponds to the initial state of the PRPG before filling the scan chain. In this paper, we present...
Aggressive scaling of technology has an adverse impact on the reliability of VLSI circuits. Apart from increasing transient error susceptibility, the circuits also become more vul...
