Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) As semiconductor technology is scaling down, open defects have often occurred at interconnect lines and vias. If logic value of an open fault is controlled by the coupling capacitances between the floating line and its adjacent lines, the open fault can be detected as a stack-at fault. A large-scale integrated circuit having many adjacent lines requires much test generation time. In this study, we propose a method for selecting adjacent lines when assigning logic values in test pattern generation for open faults to reduce computational time. We extract adjacent lines from the ISCAS89 benchmark and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method by using ATPG and fault simulator for detecting open faults considering the effects of its adjacent lines.
