In the ECAD area, the Test Generation (TG) problem consists in finding an input vector test for some possible diagnosis (a set of faults) of a digital circuit. Such tests may have ...
When VLSI technology scales toward 45nm, the lithography wavelength stays at 193nm. This large gap results in strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge...
A test pattern generator (TPG) for built-in self-test (BIST), which can reduce switching activity during test application, is proposed. The proposed TPG, called dual-speed LFSR (DS...
Crosstalk faults have emerged as a significant mechanism for circuit failure. Long signal nets are of particular concern because they tend to have a higher coupling capacitance to...
The discrepancy between integrated circuits' activities in normal functional mode and that in structural test mode has an increasing adverse impact on the effectiveness of ma...
