Abstract

Recent developments in deep-submicron technology challenge current integrated circuit testing methods. The increasing complexity of designed systems makes test development more time-consuming. Moreover, nanometer technology introduces new defects or higher data rate errors. To reduce manufacturing costs and time to market, we must develop efficient fault detection and location methods. Using high-level fault simulation stimulates the development of new, fast test-generation algorithms that take into consideration functional features of the system under test or its components. Moreover, all synthesis tools migrate to higher levels, and we believe that this will improve ATPG tools as well.
