Test generation for resistive opens in CMOS
This paper develops new techniques for detecting both stuck-open faults and resistive open faults, which result in increased delays along some paths. The improved detection of CMO...

Seed encoding with LFSRs and cellular automata
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...

Variable-latency adder (VL-adder): new arithmetic circuit design practice to overcome NBTI
Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) has become a dominant reliability concern for nanoscale PMOS transistors. In this paper, we propose variable-latency adder (VL-adder) ...
