At-speed testing made easy At-speed testing made easy
, 2004
"... Today's chip designs are getting smaller and bigger. Feature sizes are moving into nanometer geometries, and gate counts are pushing towards the 100M gate mark. Semiconductor companies creating these nanometer designs are struggling with many issues that result from this shrinking yet increasin ..."

, like resistive vias and bridges, exhibit defective timing behavior, and therefore, are effectively caught by conducting testing at system speeds. In fact, a leading ASIC vendor documented that their DPM rates were reduced by 30 to 70 percent by adding at-speed testing to their traditional stuck-at

"... The effect of crosstalk errors is most significant in highperformance circuits, mandating at-speed testing for crosstalk defects. This paper describes a self-test methodology that we have developed to enable on-chip at-speed testing of crosstalk defects in System-on-Chip interconnects. The self-test ..."

RTL Analysis and Modifications for Improving At-speed Test
"... Abstract—At-speed testing is increasingly important at recent technology nodes due to growing uncertainty in chip manufacturing. However, at-speed fault coverage and test-efficacy suffer when tests are not robust. Since Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) is typically performed at late design s ..."

Programmable Logic BIST for At-speed Test
"... In this paper, we propose a novel programmable logic BIST controller that can facilitate at-speed test for the design with multiple clock domains and multiple clock frequencies. Moreover, a static analysis method is also proposed to optimize the BIST test pattern allocation for testing the timing fa ..."

1Statistical Path Selection for At-Speed Test
"... Abstract — Process variations make at-speed testing sig-nificantly more difficult. They cause subtle delay changes that are distributed in contrast to the localized nature of a traditional fault model. Due to parametric variations, different paths can be critical in different parts of the process sp ..."
