摘要:
A method of testing an integrated circuit. The method includes selecting a set of physical features of nets and devices of the integrated circuit, the integrated circuit having pattern input points and pattern observation points connected by the nets, each of the nets defined by an input point and all fan out paths to (i) input points of other nets of the nets or (ii) to the pattern observation points; selecting a measurement unit for each feature of the set of features; assigning a weight to each segment of each fan out path based on a number of the measurement units of the feature in each segment of each fan out path of each of the nets; and generating a set of test patterns optimized for test-coverage and cost based on the weights assigned to each segment of each of the nets of the integrated circuit.

A method for testing an integrated circuit and analyzing test data. The method includes: defining a set of signal path selection criteria; selecting a subset of signal paths of an integrated circuit design, the selecting signal paths meeting the selection criteria; identifying pattern observation points for each signal path of the subset of signal paths; selecting a set of features associated with the integrated circuit design; applying a set of test patterns to one or more integrated circuit chips; determining failing signal paths of the subset of signal paths for each integrated circuit chip; mapping failing signal paths of the subset of signal paths to the set of features to generate a correspondence between the failing signal paths and the features; and analyzing the correspondence and identifying suspect features of the set of features based on the analyzing.

摘要:
A method and system for locating connector defects in a defective scan chain that has a parallel non-defective scan chain on a different wiring level, with both scan chains being laid out in a regular array pattern. A predetermined bit sequence is scanned into the defective scan chain. The contents of the defective scan chain are then parallel shifted into the non-defective scan chain. The contents of the non-defective scan chain is then scanned out and compared with the predetermined bit sequence. The comparison of the scanned out bits with the predetermined bit sequence facilitates locating both physically and logically where a connector defect has occurred in the defective scan chain.
