Diagnosis for systematic defects is very critical for yield learning in nanometer technology. This paper presents a bridging fault diagnosis which identifies a single layer of systematic defects (LSD), where more than expected numbers of bridging faults are located. The proposed technique is a layout-aware diagnosis which contains bridging pair extraction, structural analysis, and layer-oriented covering. Instead of treating each failing CUT independently, a statistical method (Z-test) is applied to diagnose all CUTs simultaneously. Experiments on six of seven large ISCAS’89 benchmark circuits successfully diagnose LSD for single bridging fault as well as multiple bridging faults.
在纳米技术中,系统缺陷的诊断是良率学习的关键。本文提出了一种桥接故障诊断方法,该方法可以识别单个系统缺陷(LSD),其中存在超过预期数量的桥接故障。该技术是一种布局感知诊断技术,包括桥接对提取、结构分析和面向层的覆盖。采用统计方法(z检验)同时诊断所有切口,而不是单独治疗每个失败的切口。在7个大型ISCAS’89基准电路中的6个上进行了实验,成功地诊断了单桥故障和多桥故障的LSD。

This paper presents an efficient pseudorandom (PR) test method to characterize the performance of nonlinear analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuits including those embedded in SoC devices. Previous applications of the PR test method to BIST have been limited to digital and linear analog circuits. In this paper, we extend the application of PR test to nonlinear AMS circuits. In doing so, we reduce the cost of testing nonlinear circuits, and increase the test coverage of embedded AMS circuits without incurring a large area overhead to accommodate a test stimulus generator. Our method maintains good test accuracy by using a Volterra series model to describe the behavior of the device under test (DUT). A PR sequence generated from a simple LFSR is used to excite the DUTs over a wide range of frequencies and estimate the parameters of the Volterra series, which are then used to predict the performance of DUTs. We present a method to reduce the test time by using a compressed cross-correlation method which reduces the complexity of the presented algorithm. The mathematical background and hardware measurement results are presented to validate our method.
本文提出了一种有效的伪随机(PR)测试方法来表征非线性模拟和混合信号(AMS)电路的性能,包括嵌入在SoC器件中的电路。先前的PR测试方法在BIST中的应用仅限于数字和线性模拟电路。本文将PR测试推广到非线性AMS电路中。在这样做的过程中,我们降低了测试非线性电路的成本,并增加了嵌入式AMS电路的测试覆盖率,而不会产生用于容纳测试刺激发生器的大面积开销。我们的方法通过使用Volterra系列模型来描述被测器件(DUT)的行为,保持了良好的测试精度。由简单LFSR生成的PR序列用于在宽频率范围内激励dut,并估计Volterra系列的参数,然后用于预测dut的性能。本文提出了一种利用压缩互相关方法减少测试时间的方法,从而降低了算法的复杂度。给出了数学背景和硬件测量结果来验证我们的方法。

This paper describes the scan test challenges and techniques used in the Godson-3 microprocessor, which is a scalable multicore processor based on the SMOC (Scalable Mesh of Crossbar) on-chip network and targets high-end applications. Advanced techniques are adopted to achieve the scalable, low-power and low-cost scan architecture at the challenge of limited I/O resources and large scale of transistors. To achieve a scalable and flexible test access, a highly elaborate TAM (Test Access Mechanism) is implemented with supporting multiple test instructions and test modes. Taking advantage of multiple cores embedding in the processor, scan partitions are employed to reduce test power and test time, and test compression with more than 10X compression ratio are utilized to decrease the scan chain length. To further decrease test time, a Data-Synchronous-Comparator (DSC) is proposed for comparing the scan responses of the identical cores.
Godson-3微处理器是一种基于SMOC (scalable Mesh of Crossbar)片上网络的可扩展多核处理器,目标是高端应用,本文描述了扫描测试所面临的挑战和使用的技术。在有限的I/O资源和大规模晶体管的挑战下,采用先进的技术实现可扩展、低功耗和低成本的扫描架构。为了实现可伸缩和灵活的测试访问,实现了一个高度精细的TAM(测试访问机制),支持多个测试指令和测试模式。利用处理器内嵌多核的优势,采用扫描分区来降低测试功耗和测试时间,采用10倍以上压缩比的测试压缩来缩短扫描链长度。为了进一步减少测试时间,提出了一种数据同步比较器(DSC)来比较相同内核的扫描响应。

Due to the rapid decrease of technology feature size speed related faults, such as Address Decoder Delay Faults (ADDFs), are becoming very important. In addition, increased leakage currents demand for improved tests for Bit Line Imbalance Faults (BLIFs)(caused by memory cell pass transistor leakage). This paper contributes to new and improved algorithms for detecting these faults. First it provides an improved version of existing GalPat algorithm and introduces two new algorithms to detect ADDFs; the paper also shines a new light on the use of the different stress combinations (counting methods, data-backgrounds) and their importance for the detection of ADDFs. Second, it provides an improved algorithm for detecting BLIFs; it increases the defect coverage by being able to detect lower leakage currents.
由于技术特征尺寸的快速减小,与速度相关的故障,如地址解码器延迟故障(addf)变得非常重要。此外,泄漏电流的增加要求改进位线不平衡故障(BLIFs)的测试(由存储单元通过晶体管泄漏引起)。本文提出了新的和改进的算法来检测这些故障。首先给出了现有GalPat算法的改进版本,并引入了两种新的addf检测算法;本文还揭示了不同应力组合(计数方法、数据背景)的使用及其对addf检测的重要性。其次,提出了一种改进的BLIFs检测算法;它通过能够检测较低的泄漏电流来增加缺陷覆盖率。

Testing Embedded Memories in the Nano-Era: Will the Existing Approaches Survive? 在纳米时代测试嵌入式记忆:现有的方法会继续存在吗?

With the technology scaling and increase in integration density, severe static (e.g., random dopant, subwavelength lithography, etc) and dynamic (e.g., voltage, temperature, etc) variations will rise. It is widely recognized that variability in device characteristics and its impact on the overall reliability of the system represent major challenges to scaling and integration for present and future nanotechnology generations. Moreover, the failure mechanism in the nano-era will be more dominated by transient faults (e.g., external perturbations, radiation, power fluctuations) and intermittent faults (e.g., timing faults, degradation of the component parameters) rather than permanent faults. This shift in failure mechanisms will impact the reliability in a sever way. It is becoming very hard to guarantee the reliability with today’s extensive, hence costly, traditional approaches (e.g., testing at extreme stresses, Burn-in, etc). Moreover, such approaches may reduce the lifetime of devices fabricated using nano technology nodes.
随着技术的规模化和集成密度的增加,严重的静态(如随机掺杂、亚波长光刻等)和动态(如电压、温度等)变化将会上升。人们普遍认为,器件特性的可变性及其对系统整体可靠性的影响是当前和未来纳米技术世代扩展和集成的主要挑战。此外,纳米时代的故障机制将更多地以瞬态故障(如外界扰动、辐射、功率波动)和间歇性故障(如定时故障、部件参数退化)为主,而不是永久性故障。这种失效机制的转变将严重影响可靠性。如今的传统方法(例如,在极端应力下进行测试,老化等)越来越难以保证可靠性,因此成本高昂。此外,这种方法可能会减少使用纳米技术节点制造的设备的寿命。

With the changing face of the consumer driven semiconductor industry, there are new challenges facing the industry which need to be resolved. Minimizing Power dissipation is a significant and growing challenge with the growth of the wireless and portable device segments and with the need to be ‘green’. Even during manufacturing test, power is definitely among the top ten items needing attention and expertise. Since 90-nm there has been a recognition that power consumption during test can be a factor affecting product quality and yield. Excessive power consumption during manufacturing test affects the reliability of digital integrated circuits, leading to power-driven failures and higher infant mortality. These trends if continuing on their present course will force designers to adopt specific power management and low power design techniques for manufacturing test.
随着消费者驱动的半导体行业面貌的变化,该行业面临着新的挑战,需要解决。随着无线和便携式设备领域的发展以及对“绿色”的需求,最大限度地降低功耗是一项重大且日益严峻的挑战。即使在制造测试中,电源也绝对是需要关注和专业知识的十大项目之一。自90纳米以来,人们已经认识到测试过程中的功耗可能是影响产品质量和良率的一个因素。在制造测试过程中,过度的功耗会影响数字集成电路的可靠性,导致功率驱动的故障和更高的婴儿死亡率。这些趋势如果继续发展下去,将迫使设计人员采用特定的电源管理和低功耗设计技术进行制造测试。

Transaction level modeling (TLM) provides a feasible methodology to model an SOC at a high abstraction level such that system level design issues can be dealt with efficiently. One of the issues that have not been well discussed at the transaction level is SOC testing. In this paper we address the problem of how to construct transaction level test architectures for SOC designs. We model the components required for SOC testing including embedded processor, memory, system bus as well as the test access mechanism, test bus, test wrappers and scan- or BIST-based IP cores. A case study on integrating these components into a test platform that can execute test procedures with very little external control is carried out. Experimental results show that 3 to 4 orders of magnitude improvement on simulation speed can be achieved compared with the RTL models. We also explore the design space of the test platform and show that various test architectures can be easily constructed and analyzed with this TLM methodology.
事务级建模(TLM)提供了一种可行的方法,可以在高抽象级别对SOC进行建模,从而有效地处理系统级设计问题。在事务级别上没有得到很好讨论的问题之一是SOC测试。本文讨论了如何为SOC设计构建事务级测试体系结构的问题。我们对SOC测试所需的组件进行建模,包括嵌入式处理器、存储器、系统总线以及测试访问机制、测试总线、测试封装器和基于扫描或bist的IP内核。将这些组件集成到一个测试平台的案例研究,该平台可以在很少的外部控制下执行测试过程。实验结果表明,与RTL模型相比,该模型的仿真速度提高了3 ~ 4个数量级。我们还探索了测试平台的设计空间,并展示了各种测试架构可以很容易地构建和分析这种TLM方法。

Speeding up SAT-Based ATPG Using Dynamic Clause Activation 利用动态子句激活加速基于sat的ATPG
Pub Date : 2009-11-23 DOI: 10.1109/ATS.2009.26
Stephan Eggersglüß, Daniel Tille, R. Drechsler
SAT-based ATPG turned out to be a robust alternative to classical structural ATPG algorithms such as FAN. The number of unclassified faults can be significantly reduced using a SAT-based ATPG approach. In contrast to structural ATPG, SAT solvers work on a Boolean formula in Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF). This results in some disadvantages for SAT solvers when applied to ATPG, e.g. CNF transformation time and loss of structural knowledge. As a result, SAT-based ATPG algorithms are very robust for hard-to-test faults, but suffer from the overhead for easy-to-test faults. We propose the SAT technique Dynamic Clause Activation (DCA) in order to reduce the run time gap between structural and SAT-based ATPG algorithms and, at the same time, retain the high level of robustness. Using DCA, the SAT solver works on a partial formula of a logic circuit which is dynamically extended during the search process using structural knowledge. Furthermore, efficient dynamic learning techniques can be easily integrated within the proposed technique. The approach is evaluated on large industrial circuits.
基于sat的ATPG被证明是经典结构ATPG算法(如FAN)的鲁棒替代品。使用基于sat的ATPG方法可以显著减少未分类故障的数量。与结构ATPG相反,SAT求解器在合取范式(CNF)的布尔公式上工作。这导致SAT求解器在应用于ATPG时存在一些缺点,例如CNF转换时间和结构知识的丢失。因此,基于sat的ATPG算法对于难以测试的故障具有很强的鲁棒性,但对于易于测试的故障则存在较大的开销。为了减少结构化和基于SAT的ATPG算法之间的运行时间差距,同时保持高水平的鲁棒性,我们提出了SAT技术动态子句激活(DCA)。SAT求解器使用DCA对逻辑电路的部分公式进行求解,该部分公式在搜索过程中利用结构知识动态扩展。此外,有效的动态学习技术可以很容易地集成到所提出的技术中。该方法在大型工业电路中得到了验证。

Multiple-Core under Test Architecture for HOY Wireless Testing Platform HOY无线测试平台的多核测试架构
Pub Date : 2009-11-23 DOI: 10.1109/ATS.2009.43

Test integration for heterogeneous cores under test has been a challenging problem in a system-on-chip (SoC) design. To integrate heterogeneous cores under test, the test wrapper should be capable of dealing with multiple-clock domain problems, at-speed testing problems, test power problems, etc. In this paper, we propose an alternative wrapper architecture that supports multiple clock domains, and therefore test operations can run (test) at system speed. Since each CUT has very different requirements, the test wrapper unavoidably needs to be re-designed for a new CUT. In order to reduce the manual effort, we propose to automatically generate test wrappers and the corresponding test programs based on the given configuration and test description for each CUT. We adopted the IEEE 1450.6 standard, a.k.a. Core Test Language (CTL), as the test description language in this work. Through the process, circuits can be tested with low overheads, and minimal intervention from designers will be required. We have successfully integrated a test wrapper generated by using our tool into a test chip which includes a Memory BIST and a Logic BIST and tapped out the chip in TSMC 0.18$mu$m technology.

在片上系统(SoC)设计中,异构被测核的测试集成一直是一个具有挑战性的问题。为了在测试中集成异构内核,测试封装器应该能够处理多时钟域问题、高速测试问题、测试电源问题等。在本文中,我们提出了一种支持多个时钟域的替代包装架构,因此测试操作可以以系统速度运行。由于每个CUT都有非常不同的需求,因此不可避免地需要为新的CUT重新设计测试包装器。为了减少手工工作,我们建议根据每个CUT的给定配置和测试描述自动生成测试包装器和相应的测试程序。我们采用IEEE 1450.6标准,即核心测试语言(CTL)作为本工作的测试描述语言。通过这个过程,电路可以以较低的开销进行测试,并且设计师的干预最少。我们已经成功地将使用我们的工具生成的测试封装集成到一个包含内存BIST和逻辑BIST的测试芯片中,并在台积电0.18$mu$m技术下打了芯片。实验表明,该架构的面积开销仅占芯片面积的0.02%。

To integrate heterogeneous cores under test, the test wrapper should be capable of dealing with multiple-clock domain problems, at-speed testing problems, test power problems, etc. In this paper, we propose an alternative wrapper architecture that supports multiple clock domains, and therefore test operations can run (test) at system speed. Since each CUT has very different requirements, the test wrapper unavoidably needs to be re-designed for a new CUT. In order to reduce the manual effort, we propose to automatically generate test wrappers and the corresponding test programs based on the given configuration and test description for each CUT.
