Understanding the distribution can improve design quality, test quality, and the manufacturing process itself. The methodology is composed of i) an improved approach for identifying the signal lines relevant to defect activation at each site reported by diagnosis, ii) a new behavior attribution method, and iii) a novel approach to estimate the defect-type distribution. The efficacy of this methodology is validated using circuit-level simulation experiments. The results show that the method achieves an average accuracy of 94% in identifying signal lines that are relevant to the activation of a defect. When estimating defect-type distribution for a population affected by a variety of defects, the average estimation accuracy is 92% with ideal diagnosis. With a realistic diagnosis (i.e., the inherent ambiguity of diagnosis is accounted for), the estimated defect-type distribution is 85% accurate, on average.","PeriodicalId":265156,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Test Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131981613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DFT method optimally utilizes existing functional elements and paths for test, thus it effectively reduces the hardware overhead due to test. This is done by arranging all registers in the circuit into F-scan-paths and augmenting necessary circuitry at RTL. After DFT, we create the constraint test generation model of the circuit based on the test environment obtained from the information of F-scan-paths. With this approach, only the applicable test vectors to the F-scan-paths can be generated and test application time is kept at the minimum. The comparison of F-scan with the performance of gate-level full scan design is shown through the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":265156,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Test Conference","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121124272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
