Abstract(in English) In recent year, the numbers of target fault models and faults for testing increase because the number of gates on VLSIs is increasing and their complexity is growing with advances in semiconductor technology. As the result, the number of test patterns drastically increases. Many test compaction methods have been proposed to reduce the number of test patterns maintaining fault coverage. In this paper, we propose a dynamic test compaction method in which double detection, don't care identification, and test pattern merge techniques are applied to a test set in a compaction buffer. We also propose a primary fault selection using influence cones for test generation to generate test patterns for faults which are predicted to be detected by test patterns with many care bits in an early stage. Experimental results for some small circuits of ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show that the numbers of generated test patterns by our proposed methods are the almost same as the minimal numbers of test patterns.
