Parametric fault modeling methodology based on statistical process simulation is proposed. Statistical simulation based on process disturbances allows to avoid testing for faults which are unlikely to occur. As a result, the number of tests required to verify the circuit's performance is reduced. A practical example with results measured on prototype chips is presented.
