Abstract(in English) | In recent years, since capture power consumption for VLSIs significantly increases in at-speed scan testing, low capture power-oriented test generation methods have been proposed. In the conventional method, a test set is generated using automatic test pattern generators, don't care (X) identification is performed for only capture-safe test vectors in the test set whose capture power consumption is less than or equal to the threshold values. X-filling is performed for capture-safe test cubes in order to detect unsafe faults which are detected only by capture-unsafe test vectors. The numbers of capture-unsafe test vectors and unsafe faults were reduced by the X-filling method. However, in the conventional method, since the number of unsafe faults detected by the X-filling depends on the care bit locations of capture-safe test cubes, the number of unsafe faults might not be efficiently reduced. Therefore, the numbers of capture-safe test vectors might be larger than those of the initial test set. In this paper, to generate a small capture-safe test set, we propose a pseudo-Boolean optimization based low capture power oriented multiple target fault test generation method using the information of simultaneously detectable safe faults by capture-safe test cubes in the initial test set. The experimental results show that our proposed method could reduce the number of capture-unsafe test vectors by 100% and reduce the number of unsafe faults by 98% on the average compared to the initial test set with low power consideration. |
