Abstract(in English) Recently, defects that are not covered by conventional fault models like stuck-at or 2-line bridging fault are increasing. Thus unconventional faults like transistor-level faults must be considered in future LSI tasting. In this article, we propose a test generation method for transistor shorts. The transistor short models used here are constructed by focusing on the output values on faulty gates. The models allow us to generate test patterns by using stuck-at fault tools. Transistor-level tools are never required. Moreover redundant transistor shorts are identified using the list of redundant stuck-at faults. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by experimental results for TSCAS bfmchmark circuits.
