Title
Fault Coverage and Fault Efficiency of Transistor Shorts using Gate-Level Simulation and Test Generation
Abstract
This paper proposes a theory of transistor short faults and their detection in logic test environment. We define transistor short models, and reveal the characteristics of equivalent faults and redundant faults. Also, we present a stuck-at fault simulation method and a test generation method that uses only the gate-level description of the circuits while dealing with transistor short faults. We present experimental results for ISCAS benchmark circuits to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology proposed in this paper.
