The performance of deep sub-micron designs can be affected by various parametric variations, manufacturing defects, noise or even modeling errors that are all statistical in natur...

Faster defect localization is achieved by combining IC simulations and internal measurements. Time resolved photon emission records photons emitted during commutations (current) r...

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. ...
Diagnostic ATPG has traditionally been used to generate test patterns that distinguish pairs of modeled faults. In this work, we investigate the use of n-distinguishing test sets,...

This paper addresses the run-time diagnosis of delay faults in functional units of microprocessors. Despite the popularity of the stuck-at fault model, it is no longer the only re...
