Abstract(in English) In VLSI testing, stuck-at fault model and transition fault model have been widely used. However, with advance of semiconductor technologies, it is increasing in defects whose detection is difficult in testing using conventional fault models. One of such defects is modeled by resistive open fault model. Resistive open faults represent degradation in conductivity within circuit's interconnects and result in small delay faults that causing timing failures. Hence, it is important to generate test patterns consider longest possible path. The size of an additional delay at a resistive open fault is determined by the logic values at the adjacent lines and the length of the adjacent lines. Therefore, it is important to fault propagation paths and adjacent lines in test generation for resistive open faults. In this paper, we propose a test generation method for resistive open faults which considers fault propagation paths and the number of reversed phase transitions on adjacent lines using Partial MaxSAT. Moreover, we evaluate the generated test set using a fault simulation.
