A powerful combinational path sensitization engine is required for the efficient implementation of tools for test pattern generation, timing analysis, and delay fault testing. Path...
Irreversible computation necessarily results in energy dissipation due to information loss. While small in comparison to the power consumption of today’s VLSI circuits, if curre...
Test application time is an important factor in the overall cost of VLSI chip testing. We present a new ATPG approach for generating compact test sequences for sequential circuits...

This paper proposes a new fault coverage estimation model which can be used in the early stage of VLSI design. The fault coverage model is an exponentially decaying function with ...
- As shown by previous studies, shorts between the interconnect wires should be considered as the predominant cause of failures in CMOS circuits. Fault models and tools for targeti...
