We describe a new framework to minimize test escape (TE) and yield loss (YL) during IDDQ testing. The proposed framework defines the concept of critical severity of a fault Sk', that provides a link between the fault magnitude and violation of one or more specifications. The framework provides various strategies to select the values of IDDQ threshold and provides a mechanism to compute test escape and/or yield loss. The framework is illustrated using an SRAM as a case study. The results demonstrate various trade-off that can be explored using the framework.
