Functional verification of complex designs largely relies on the use of simulation in conjunction high-level verification languages (HVL) and test-bench automation (TBA) tools. In...
With the advent of nanometer technologies, the design size of integrated circuits is getting larger and the operation speed is getting faster. As a consequence, test cost is becom...
We present an efficient search strategy for satisfiability checking on circuits represented at the register-transfer-level (RTL). We use the RTL circuit structure by extending con...

The main objectives of Built-In Self Test (BIST) are the design of test pattern generator circuits which achieve the highest fault coverage, require the shortest sequence of test ...
Errors in timing closure process during the physical design stage may result in systematic silicon failures, such as scan chain hold time violations, which prohibit the test of ma...
