Abstract(in English) Capture-safety, defined as the avoidance of any timing error due to unduly high switching activity in capture mode during at-speed scan testing, is critical for avoiding test-induced yield loss. Although point techniques are available for reducing capture IR-drop, there is a lack of complete capture-safe test generation flows. The paper addresses this problem by proposing a novel and practical capture-safe test generation scheme, featuring (1) reliable capture-safety checking and (2) effective capture-safety improvement by combining X-bit identification & X-filling with low launch-switching-activity test generation. This scheme is compatible with existing ATPG flows, and achieves capture-safety with no changes to the circuit-under-test or the clocking scheme.
