    摘要: Scan chain diagnosis techniques are disclosed. Faulty scan chains are modeled and scan patterns are masked to filter out loading-caused failures. By simulating the masked scan patterns, failing probabilities are determined for cells on a faulty scan chain. One or more defective cells are identified based upon the failing probability information. A noise filtering system such as the one based upon adaptive feedback may be adopted for the identification process.

    摘要: Aspects of the invention relate to techniques for diagnosing compound hold-time faults. A profiling-based scan chain diagnosis may be performed on a faulty scan chain to determine observed scan cell failing probability information and one or more faulty segments based on scan pattern test information. Calculated scan cell failing probability information may then be derived. Based on the calculated scan cell failing probability information and the observed scan cell failing probability information, one or more validated faulty segments are verified to have one or more compound hold-time faults. Finally, one or more clock defect suspects may be identified based on information of the one or more validated faulty segments.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosed technology comprise software-based techniques that can be used to improve scan chain test pattern generation and scan chain failure diagnosis resolution. For example, certain embodiments can be used to generate high quality chain diagnosis test patterns that are able to isolate a scan chain defect to a single scan cell. Such embodiments can be used to generate a “complete” test set—that is, a set of chain diagnosis test patterns that is able to isolate any scan chain defect in a faulty scan chain to a single scan cell.

    摘要: A dictionary-based scan chain fault detector includes a dictionary with fault signatures computed for scan cells in the scan chain. Entries in the fault dictionary are compared with failures in the failure log to identify a faulty scan cell. In one embodiment a single fault in a scan chain is identified. In another embodiment, a last fault and a first fault in a scan chain are identified.

    摘要: Technologies disclosed herein can be used to diagnose defects on die having both scan chain and system logic defects, including in situations where the presence of one or more faults in the system logic potentially obscures the detectability of one or more faults in the scan chains (or channels) and vice versa. At least some embodiments employ an iterative approach where at least some scan chain faults are identified, these chain faults are used to identify system logic faults, and then additional chain faults are identified using the system logic faults and vice versa. Failing bits can be partitioned into at least two groups: failing bits determined as being caused by system logic failures, and failing bits determined as being possibly caused by chain defects, system logic defects, or the compound effects of both types of defects.
