The quality of IC testing can be improved by applying appropriate design strategies. In this paper, we present a testability-oriented routing methodology, which can be used to modify the IC layout so as to reduce the probability of test escape. A testability-oriented iterative channel routing tool based on this methodology has been developed. Example applications of this tool illustrating the methodology are also presented in the paper.
