However, the conventional diagnosis methods are not good at locating the defects that are not precisely expressed only with logical fault models.

We examine suspected nodes' voltages by comparing with the observed responses of ATE. In the examination, we use \"defect activation\", which is an estimation method of defective nodes' voltages using physical information. Using this methodology, we introduce examples of diagnosis for open defects in a cell, and for interconnect open defects.

The results clearly show that the Delta-IDDQ approach covers a large number of resistive shorts missed by conventional logic testing, requiring only a relatively small vector set. In addition a significant number of defects which are proven to be undetectable by logic testing but may deteriorate and result in reliability failures are detected. The Delta- IDDQ threshold and thus the equipment sensitivity is shown to be critical for the test quality. Furthermore, the validity of the traditional IDDQ fault models when considering resistive short defects is found to be limited. For instance, the use of the fault-free next-state function for sequential IDDQ fault simulation is shown to result in a wrong classification of some resistive short defects. This is the first systematic study of IDDQ testing of resistive short defects. The impact of the threshold on the defect coverage is quantified for the first time.
