    摘要: A method for fabricating a circuit comprises identifying a target on the circuit with a transitional sensitivity, determining a test pattern that stresses the target, generating a verification model at the hierarchy of the target, creating a pattern and translating the pattern into a verification assertion, running the verification with the translated pattern, determining whether the verification assertion is a possible verification assertion following the running of the verification, obtaining a state of source latches and pin inputs responsive to determining that the formal verification assertion is a possible verification assertion following the running of the formal verification, translating the formal verification assertion into a coverage event, running a simulation with the coverage event, determining whether the coverage event occurred, and creating a manufacturing test responsive to determining that the coverage event occurred.
