  13. Transition test for FFR • Restrict transition test to propagate transitions on output of gates • Targets only inputs of Fanout-free Region • Top-off with normal transition test Intaik Park, RATS, Fall 2005

  15. Transition test for FFR (cont.) • If output transition is guaranteed, dominance can be used for fanout-free region (same as SSF) • Tests for inputs of FFR  tests all the faults inside the FFR Intaik Park, RATS, Fall 2005

  19. GSE tr and HF & RB tr FFR • GSE tr and Robust and hazard-free tr have similar concepts • Restrict on test to produce transition on output • Differences • GSE tr == union of hazard-free tr & robust tr • XOR and MUX • GSE: xor, mux tested exhaustively • HF, RB tr: xor, mux tested non-exhaustively Intaik Park, RATS, Fall 2005

  25. Sequence-dependent defects • 3 different tests • Test1 (LOC), Test2 (Stuck-at), Reference test • if Test1 fail, Test2 pass (or vise versa), seq. dep. defect • if ref test fails, invalidate • check all individual vectors Intaik Park, RATS, Fall 2005

  26. Test 1 (LOC transition test) Previous state Shift-in Activation vector System clock capture Propagation vector System clock capture Output response Shift-out Intaik Park, RATS, Fall 2005

  29. Tester cycle logs • Tester limits 1,024 failing cycle logs / chip • 6 cores/chip, 184 scan cells, 819 vectors • To log all possible fails, need 904k cycle logs (882 test rounds) • Assigned 65 cycles for test1 and test2 40 cycles for ref. test Intaik Park, RATS, Fall 2005

  30. Tester cycle logs (cont.) • Different failing cycles • Some fail > 65 cycles for one vector • Some fail < 65 cycles for 819 vectors • Iterative method • Apply tests starting from 0, 100, 200 … 700 • If found seq. dep. defect  seq. dep. • If finished logging w/o seq. dep.  possible seq. indep.

  38. Hazard-free transition test • Transition delay test in which all sensitizing inputs do not change in one of the transitions such that a transition is produced on the output of the gate • AND gate: restrict stf at input • OR gate: restrict str at input Intaik Park, RATS, Fall 2005
