DTU 02208

Course Description

02208 Test of Integrated Circuits
Plan for Lectures 2 through 4:
Fault Modeling




The testing problem can be formulated in terms of 3 questions
  • Which fault model should we select ?
  • How can we generate a test pattern ?
  • How do we measure the test quality ?
The lectures on fault modeling address the first of these questions.



Lecture 2: Fault Modeling : Physical faults

Purpose: To discuss the need for fault models of physical failures.
Contents:
Test as a distinguishing experiment
Exhaustive testing
Physical failures in ICs
The stuck-at fault model
Literature:

Lecture 3: Fault Modeling : Fault models

Purpose: To present various fault models and problems of using them.
Contents:
Fault collapsing
Stuck-at fault model: Multiple faults
Untestable and undetectable faults
Bridging faults and transistor faults
How many fault models do we need?
Literature:
Chapter 2


Lecture 4: Fault Modeling : Inductive fault analysis

Purpose: To discuss how we derive the fault list.
Contents:
Inductive fault analysis
Statistical process evaluation
External requirements
