9th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (isqed 2008)
Automated Standard Cell Library Analysis for Improved Defect Modeling
March 17-March 19
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3117-5
Inductive fault analysis techniques examine the physical geometry of a design to identify potential defect sites. Since traditional methodologies for test generation, fault simulation, and diagnosis rely on logic-level models of the circuit under test, the behavior of a circuit node within a standard cell is not easily modeled since it does not always map directly to a logic-level signal. A significant percentage of defects, however, involves these internal nodes and therefore cannot be ignored. Also, due to the potentially complex behavior of feedback bridges, many defects that cause structural feedback are ignored. We propose a methodology to create a mapping between the physical nodes of a standard cell and the logic level. By identifying appropriate fault activation and error propagation conditions for each internal node, accurate fault models can be formulated. We also describe a strategy for modeling feedback bridges that enables the use of traditional test tools.
