Abstract(in English) A single stuck-at fault model and a transition fault model have been widely used to generate test patterns for VLSIs. However, recently defects which are not detected by test sets for the classical fault models increase with the growing density and complexity of VLSIs. In this paper, fault sensitization coverage is defined as the simple measure of test quality for a small delay fault. Defects which frequently occur in VLSIs is modeled as a small delay fault and the detection conditions are complex. This paper proposes a don't care filling method to improve fault sensitization coverage for given initial transition fault test sets. This method is possible to generate high quality test sets for small delay without any impact on test data volume. Experimental results show that final test sets generated by the proposed don't care filling method improved SDQL by 0.2~7.0% compared with given initial transition fault sets.
