Abstract(in English) A highly reliable VLSI processor is required in a wide range of fields which include automotive, medical and space application. On the other hand, technology scaling increases soft error rate, so it is necessary to evaluate influence of soft error. However, soft error propagation analysis using fault injection takes an enormous amount of time. In order to evaluate it in a short time, analytical technique is strongly required. In this paper, we propose an accurate soft error propagation analysis technique. Conventional analysis techniques have considered temporal and logical masking effect. The proposed technique considers temporal masking disablement in flip-flop under enable control, which is not considered in conventional techniques. We made a comparison between Mean Absolute Error(MAE) of conventional and that of proposed analysis techniques for six benchmarks. These results show that the proposed technique reduces 49.87% in average of MAE when the enabled probability is 0.1.
