Also disclosed is a method and apparatus that determines whether a defect can be detected in a standard library cell used to design an integrated circuit. A defect detection table is generated that indicates whether particular defects can be detected with particular combinations of input logic states and under varying load conditions. Results are merged to provide a single metric for each combination of input and output logic states that indicates one of three possible results for each defect: (1) whether the defect can be detected under all load conditions, (2) whether the defect can be detected only under some load conditions; or (3) whether the defect cannot be detected for the particular combination of input logic states regardless of the load conditions.

Abstract: A cell-aware defect characterization method includes partitioning a multibit cell netlist file into multiple single-bit partition netlist files, and then generating a cell-aware test model for each partition netlist file. Partitioning is performed such that each partition netlist file includes a corresponding flip-flop along with input, output and control pins that are operably coupled to the input, output and control terminals of the corresponding flip-flop, and all active, passive and parasitic circuit elements that are coupled in the signal paths extending between the corresponding flip-flop and the input/output/control pins. Shared resources (e.g., clock or scan select pins and associated signal lines) that are utilized by two or more flip-flops are included in each associated partition. The partitioning process is performed using either a structural back-tracing approach or a logic simulation approach.

Such embodiments can be used to generate a “complete” test set—that is, a set of chain diagnosis test patterns that is able to isolate any scan chain defect in a faulty scan chain to a single scan cell.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to techniques of using two-dimensional scan architecture for testing and diagnosis. A two-dimensional scan cell network may be constructed by coupling input for each scan cell to outputs for two or more other scan cells and/or primary inputs through a multiplexer.

Based on the chain test data, one or more defective scan cells or defective scan cell candidates may be determined.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to techniques for cycle-based scan chain diagnosis for integrated circuits with embedded compactors. With various implementations of the invention, no-failing-bits output channels of a compactor are first identified based on output data of a test. Next, good scan chains are identified based on scan chains associated with the no-failing-bits output channels. From scan chains other than the good scan chains, analysis of bits outputted from failing-bits output channels per clock cycle is performed to identify suspected faulty scan chains.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to techniques for determining scan chains that could be diagnosed with high resolution. A circuit design and the information of scan cells for the circuit design are analyzed to determine information of potential logic relationship between the scan cells. The information of potential logic relationship between the scan cells may comprise information of fan-in cones for the scan cells. Based at least in part on the information of potential logic relationship between the scan cells, scan chains may be formed. The formation of scan chains may be further based on layout information of the circuit design. The formation of scan chains may be further based on compactor information of the circuit design.
