Combining the advantages of Bipolar and CMOS, BiCMOS is emerging as a major technology for high speed, high performance, digital and mixed signal applications. Recent investigations have revealed that bridging faults can be a major failure mode in ICs. This paper presents effects of bridging faults affecting p-and n-parts. It is shown that bridging faults can be detected by IDDQ monitoring in BiCMOS devices. An input pattern classification scheme is presented for bridging faults. These classes of input patterns are then used to obtain test sets for bridging fault detection.
