Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Along with the improvement in semiconductor technology, it is important to ensure product quality that small delay defects caused by manufacturing variables and in-field degradation are detected. These defects cause delay shift. These defects must be detected by delay test. However, delay shift is caused not only by defects but also by environmental conditions such as temperature. If circuit's temperature is varied temporally and/or spatially, it would be difficult to detect the delay shift caused only by defects. This paper proposes a method of thermal uniformity control during BIST for accurate delay test. The proposed method first adds a mask circuit to the output of each scan FF of a circuit. Then the mask circuits are controlled so that the power consumption of the combinational circuit is adjusted to a uniform temperature without impact on test application time and fault coverage. Experimental results on benchmark circuits show that the proposed method can achieve thermal uniformity during BIST.
