Abstract(in English) Excessive capture power consumption at scan testing causes the excessive IR drop and it might cause test-induced yield loss. A low-capture-power test generation method for transition faults based on LOC using fault simulation was proposed to resolve the problem. The method mimics fault propagation path information for capture-safe test vectors which have low launch switching activity in the initial test sets. However, when the number of capture-safe test vectors is smaller, there exists faults which do not have any mimicked capture-safe test vectors. In this paper, we construct neural networks which are constituted from a test vector and state transition information of flip-flops as an input layer, circuit structure information as a middle layer, and capture-safe decision as an output layer. We learn low power properties of random test vectors using the neural network and consider an effective method of random capture-safe test vector generation using the neural network.
