Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In at-speed scan testing, capture power is a serious problem because the high power dissipation that can occur when the response for a test vector is captured by flip-flops results in circuit-damaging high temperature and timing errors, which may cause significant capture-induced yield loss. Thus, the test vectors that violate capture power constraints are not able to be used for at-speed scan testing in order to prevent unnecessary yield loss. Therefore, in test generation, it is necessary to consider capture power. In this paper, we propose a new low capture power test generation method based on fault simulation using low capture power test vectors in an initial test set. The simple simulation-based method can generate a low capture power test set in a short time. Experimental results show that the use of this method reduces the number of unsafe-faults by 97% on average and shorten test generation time by 301 times on maximum compared with the conventional low capture power test generation method.
