Abstract(in English) In this paper, we present a method for extracting fault candidate areas using layout information obtained by CAD. In highly-integrated circuits, a bridging fault may affect not only between two signal lines, but also among multiple signal lines. In this work, we propose a procesure for extracting fault candidate areas of bridging faults between two lines and bridging faults among three lines. The procedure extracts pairs of signal lines whose distance is within the given distance and identifies them as the fault candidate of a bridging fault, and also extracts groups of three signal lines within the given distance and identifies them as the fault candidate of a multinode bridging fault. The procedure that utilizes a layout information obtained from CAD tools to extract fault candidate areas of bridging faults among two or three lines is shown. The experimental results for benchmark circuits are shown for the comparison between the number of the fault candidate areas obtained by the proposed method and the number of the bridging faults between two lines assumed from gate-level.
