Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) TSV attracts attention as a new implementation method of interconnects between dies in 3DICs. However, faulty TSVs may cause small delay faults because of defects in TSVs such as voids and pinholes during the manufacturing process. We have been proposed a DFT(Design-For-Testability) method for TSVs using a boundary scan circuit with embedded TDC(TDCBS). We proposed the design method for reducing variation of additional delay by reordering delay elements. However, in this method, the wire for forming a loop becomes long compared with other wires. In this paper, we present the design method for reducing the wire length of the feedback wire by reordering delay elements under consideration of a loop.
