1 This paper addresses the problem of testing path delay faults in a microprocessor using instructions. It is observed that a structurally testable path (i.e., a path testable thro...
The clock rate of modern chips is still increasing and at the same time the gate size decreases. As a result, already slight variations during the production process may cause a f...
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. ...
Testing of VLSI circuits can cause generation of excessive heat which can damage the chips under test. In the random testing environment, high-performance CMOS circuits consume sig...
