Design of Efficient Hardware Utilization Fault Coverage Circuit
"... Abstract—A new fault coverage test pattern generator using a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) called FC-LFSR can perform fault analysis and reduce the power of a circuit during test by generating three intermediate patterns between the random patterns by reducing the hardware utilization. The g ..."

A Statistical Fault Coverage Metric for Realistic Path Delay Faults
- IEEE VLSI Test Symp
, 2004
"... The path delay fault model is the most realistic model for delay faults. Testing all the paths in a circuit achieves 100 % delay fault coverage according to traditional path delay fault coverage metrics. These metrics result in unrealistically low fault coverage if only a subset of paths is tested, ..."

, 2002
"... We discuss how specification coverage and fault coverage based test derivation strategies can be combined. In particular, the problem of deriving a test suffix, which raises tester confidence in the configuration of the system, reached after a test derived by a specification coverage criterion, i ..."

Fault coverage requirements in production testing of LSI circuits
- IEEE J. Sol. St. Circ
, 1982
"... A bstract–A technique is deseribed for evahsatingthe effectiveness of production tests for large wale integrated (LSI) circuit chips. It is based on a model for the distribution of faults on a chip. The model requires two pammeters, the average number (no) of faults on a faulty chip and the yield (Y ..."

"... We develop a new statistical technique for estimating delay fault coverage in combinational circuits. True value simulation is performed for a sample of vector pairs chosen randomly from the test set. Transition probabilities and observabilities are estimated from the simulation data. These allow ..."

- Signal Monitoring,” in Proc. 24th IEEE VLSI Test Symp
"... A new algorithm for identifying stuck faults in combinational circuits that cannot be detected by a given input sequence is presented. Other than pre and post-processing steps, certain signal conditions are monitored during logic simulation. These signal conditions are specified by an analysis of do ..."

An effective application of this technique is demonstrated for scan-based test point
Fault Coverage Evaluation of Protocol Test Sequences
- Proc. of the 14th IFIP Symposium on Protocol Specification, Testing and Verification
, 1993
"... In this paper, we investigate the quality of a given protocol test sequence in detecting faulty implementations of the specification. The underlying model is a deterministic finite state machine (FSM). The basic idea is to construct all FSMs having n + i states (where n is the number of states in ..."

We observed that the use of multiple UIO sequences and overlaps can sometimes weaken the fault coverage of the test
Enhanced Fault Coverage Analysis Using ABVFI
"... Fault injection is an effective way to determine the fault coverage of an integrated circuit design and is usually ac-complished through simulation. Simulation is time inten-sive, making it impossible to simulate all possible input and fault combinations in a complex circuit under a re-alistic fault ..."

For path delay faults, recognizing that the total number of possible paths can be exponential in circuit size, we devise an implicit random path sampling procedure to obtain a linear-time estimate of the coverage for all faults.
