Full scan designs are widely used for their indisputable benefits of predictably high test coverage, diagnosis and debug. However, for high-performance designs the cost of scan - area and delay - is not acceptable and partial scan is used instead. Unfortunately, partial scan significantly increases test generation complexity. We define a structured partial scan design methodology and specific test generation enhancements, which significantly enhance test coverage and reduce test data and cycles. Selective design areas use special types of nonscan cells which can capture a value in the last few scan load cycles. Combinational test generation is extended to work with this structured partial scan design, resulting in higher coverage and fewer patterns. Experimental results on industrial designs show consistent testability benefits.
全扫描设计因其无可争议的高测试覆盖率、诊断和调试而被广泛使用。然而,对于高性能的设计,扫描面积和延迟的成本是不可接受的,而采用部分扫描。不幸的是,部分扫描显著地增加了测试生成的复杂性。我们定义了一个结构化的局部扫描设计方法和特定的测试生成增强,它显著地提高了测试覆盖率,减少了测试数据和周期。选择性设计区域使用特殊类型的非扫描单元,可以在最后几个扫描加载周期中捕获值。组合测试生成被扩展到与这种结构化部分扫描设计一起工作,从而产生更高的覆盖率和更少的模式。工业设计的实验结果显示出一致的可测试性优势。

Existing commercial power sign-off tools analyze the functional mode of operation for a small time window. The detailed analysis used makes such tools impractical in determining test peak power where a large amount of scan shift cycles have to be analyzed. This paper proposes an approximate test peak power analysis flow capable of computing test peak power at each power bump in the design. The flow uses physical design information, like power grid, power bump location, packaging information, along with the design netlist. We present correlation studies, on industrial design, and show the proposed flow to correlate within 5%of the accurate commercial power sign-off tool. In addition, we demonstrate that this flow, unlike the commercial power sign-off tool, can process a very large number of transition delay tests in a reasonable time.

Reversibility as an inherent requirement of quantum computation motivates further research on reversible logic. Due to anticipated high failure rates for such technologies, thorough testing is a must for these circuits. In this paper, we present a compact test generation and application method for reversible circuits which achieves high (100%) fault coverage and can be adopted for BIST implementations. In this method, the next test pattern is the response of the reversible circuit to the previous test pattern. A test generation algorithm to minimize test time and achieve 100% fault coverage is also presented. Simulation results on a set of reversible benchmark circuits confirm that this approach can detect all single missing/repeated gate faults as well as the majority of multiple faults.

Towards spatial fault resilience in array processors 阵列处理器空间故障恢复研究
Pub Date : 2012-04-23 DOI: 10.1109/VTS.2012.6231068

Computing with large die-size graphical processors (that need huge arrays of identical structures) in the late CMOS era is abounding with challenges due to spatial non-idealities arising from chip-to-chip and within-chip variation of MOSFET threshold voltage. In this paper, we propose a machine learning based software-framework for in-situ prediction and correction of computation corrupted due to threshold voltage variation of transistors. Based on semi-supervised training imparted to a fully connected cascade feed-forward neural network (FCCFF-NN), the NN makes an accurate prediction of the underlying hardware, creating a spatial map of faulty processing elements (PE). The faulty elements identified by the NN are avoided in future computing. Further, any transient faults occurring over and above these spatial faults are tracked, and corrected if the number of PEs involved in a particle strike is above a preset threshold. For the purposes of experimental validation, we consider a 256 × 256 array of PE. Each PE is comprised of a multiply-accumulate (MAC) block with three 8 bit registers (two for inputs and one for storing the computed result). One thousand instances of this processor array are created and PEs in each instance are randomly perturbed with threshold voltage variation. Common image processing operations such as low pass filtering and edge enhancement are performed on each of these 1000 instances. A fraction of these images (about 10%) is used to train the NN for spatial non-idealities. Based on this training, the NN is able to accurately predict the spatial extremities in 95% of all the remaining 90% of the cases. The proposed NN based error tolerance results in superior quality images whose degradation is no longer visually perceptible.
在CMOS时代晚期,由于片与片之间和片内MOSFET阈值电压的变化所引起的空间非理想性,使用大尺寸图形处理器(需要巨大的相同结构阵列)进行计算充满了挑战。在本文中,我们提出了一个基于机器学习的软件框架,用于现场预测和校正由于晶体管阈值电压变化而导致的计算误差。基于对全连接级联前馈神经网络(FCCFF-NN)的半监督训练,神经网络对底层硬件进行准确预测,创建故障处理元素(PE)的空间图。在以后的计算中避免了神经网络识别出的故障元素。此外,在这些空间故障之上发生的任何瞬态故障都会被跟踪,如果粒子撞击中涉及的pe数量超过预设阈值,则会进行纠正。为了实验验证的目的,我们考虑一个256 × 256的PE阵列。每个PE由一个带有三个8位寄存器的乘法累加(MAC)块组成(两个用于输入,一个用于存储计算结果)。该处理器阵列创建了1000个实例,每个实例中的pe随阈值电压变化而随机扰动。在这1000个实例中的每一个上执行常见的图像处理操作,例如低通滤波和边缘增强。这些图像的一部分(约10%)用于训练神经网络的空间非理想性。在此训练的基础上,神经网络能够准确地预测剩余90%案例中95%的空间端点。所提出的基于神经网络的误差容忍度可以产生高质量的图像,其退化不再是视觉上可感知的。

Detection of gate-oxide defects with timing tests at reduced power supply 在低功率下用定时试验检测栅极氧化物缺陷
Pub Date : 2012-04-23 DOI: 10.1109/VTS.2012.6231090

In this paper, we focus on the detection of small gate-oxide defects, which can escape production tests but lead to early-life-failures (ELF) during normal operation. Very-Low-Voltage (VLV) and MinVDD testing have been proposed in the past to screen such “weak” ICs. However, small defects that are not severe enough to trigger logic failures can still escape such tests given the fact that power supply voltage cannot be arbitrarily lowered in a given technology. We suggest a novel approach for increasing the sensitivity of detection of these small gate-oxide defects by applying timing tests in a reduced power supply environment. While not severe enough to cause logic failures, small oxide defects can still introduce observable anomalies in the timing of affected paths, which is amplified at reduced power supply voltages. Experimental simulation results using NanGate 45nm technology are provided to substantiate our conclusions.
在本文中,我们的重点是检测小的栅极氧化物缺陷,这些缺陷可以逃避生产测试,但在正常运行时导致早期寿命失效(ELF)。过去已经提出过极低电压(VLV)和MinVDD测试来筛选这种“弱”ic。然而,由于在给定的技术中不能任意降低电源电压,因此,没有严重到足以触发逻辑故障的小缺陷仍然可以逃脱此类测试。我们提出了一种新的方法,通过在减少电源环境中应用定时测试来提高检测这些小栅极氧化物缺陷的灵敏度。虽然不会严重到导致逻辑故障,但小的氧化物缺陷仍然可以在受影响路径的时序中引入可观察到的异常,这种异常在电源电压降低时被放大。采用NanGate 45nm工艺进行了实验仿真,验证了本文的结论。

An aging-aware flip-flop design based on accurate, run-time failure prediction 一种基于精确运行失效预测的老化感知触发器设计

As process technology continues to shrink, Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) has become a major reliability issue in CMOS circuits. NBTI degrades the threshold voltage of the PMOS transistor and, over time, causes the operating speed of the circuit to become slower (also known as the aging effect). In this paper, we introduce a new aging-aware Flip-Flop (FF) that is based on accurate, run-time Failure Prediction. In order to maintain prediction accuracy despite aging, we use two schemes: (a) the master latch in the main FF is duplicated and used as an aging monitor so that it can have the same aging effect as that of the main FF; (b) the delay element that is used for the guardband is inserted into the clock network to utilize the recovery effect of NBTI. These schemes keep the guardband virtually constant, which reduces the likelihood of both overestimating the aging effect and failing to detect it. The SPICE simulation results reveal that our FF architecture maintains its prediction accuracy for up to 10 years as a result of keeping its guardband almost completely constant.
随着工艺技术的不断缩小,负偏置温度不稳定性(NBTI)已成为CMOS电路可靠性的主要问题。NBTI降低了PMOS晶体管的阈值电压,随着时间的推移,导致电路的工作速度变慢(也称为老化效应)。在本文中,我们介绍了一种基于精确的运行失效预测的新型老化感知触发器(FF)。为了在老化情况下保持预测精度,我们采用了两种方案:(a)将主FF中的主锁存器复制并用作老化监视器,使其具有与主FF相同的老化效果;(b)在时钟网络中插入用于守卫带的延迟元件,以利用NBTI的恢复效果。这些方案使保护带实际上保持不变,从而降低了高估老化效应和未能检测到老化效应的可能性。SPICE模拟结果表明,我们的FF架构保持其预测精度长达10年,因为它的保护带几乎完全不变。

Transition delay fault testing of 3D ICs with IR-drop study 基于IR-drop的三维集成电路过渡延迟故障检测研究

In order to ensure the correctness of 3D ICs, they need to be tested both before and after their individual dies are bonded. All previous works in the area of 3D IC testing consider only stuck-at fault testing. However, 3D ICs also need to be tested for delay defects. In this work, we present a transition delay test infrastructure that can be used to test a 3D IC both before and after bonding. Furthermore, we present a methodology to test the through silicon vias (TSVs) after bonding, without necessitating regeneration of test patterns. Results show that the overhead involved is negligible. In addition, at-speed testing of circuits can suffer from large IR drop problems. In this paper, we also study the IR drop of 3D ICs during transition delay fault testing. We study how different configurations of probe pads affect the pre-bond IR drop. We also study how this IR drop changes from the pre-bond to the post-bond case.
为了保证3D ic的正确性,他们需要在每个模具粘合之前和之后进行测试。以前在三维集成电路测试领域的所有工作都只考虑卡在故障测试。然而,3D集成电路也需要测试延迟缺陷。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个过渡延迟测试基础设施,可用于在键合之前和之后测试3D IC。此外,我们提出了一种方法来测试通过硅通孔(tsv)键合后,不需要再生的测试模式。结果表明,所涉及的开销可以忽略不计。此外,电路的高速测试可能会遇到较大的红外下降问题。本文还研究了三维集成电路在过渡延迟故障测试中的红外下降问题。我们研究了不同结构的探针垫对键前红外降的影响。我们还研究了在成键前和成键后,IR下降是如何变化的。

Capacitor mismatch is the linearity limiter of charge redistribution SAR ADCs. This paper aims at detecting and removing the mismatch induced missing-decision levels (MDLs), i.e., large positive DNLs; these errors lead to information loss that cannot be recovered by external calibration. A switched-capacitor based approach is proposed to avoid DC currents and reduce design overhead; the hardware modification also supports comparator offset compensation to improve calibration quality. Simulation results show that the proposed technique effectively improves the SAR ADC linearity in the presence of capacitor mismatch and comparator offset.
电容失配是电荷再分配SAR adc的线性限制因素。本文旨在检测和消除错配引起的缺失决策水平(MDLs),即大的正dnl;这些误差导致信息丢失,无法通过外部校准恢复。为了避免直流电流,降低设计开销,提出了一种基于开关电容的方法;硬件修改还支持比较器偏移补偿,以提高校准质量。仿真结果表明,在电容失配和比较器偏移存在的情况下,该方法能有效改善SAR ADC的线性度。

This paper aims at detecting and removing the mismatch induced missing-decision levels (MDLs), i.e., large positive DNLs; these errors lead to information loss that cannot be recovered by external calibration. A switched-capacitor based approach is proposed to avoid DC currents and reduce design overhead; the hardware modification also supports comparator offset compensation to improve calibration quality. Simulation results show that the proposed technique effectively improves the SAR ADC linearity in the presence of capacitor mismatch and comparator offset.","PeriodicalId":169611,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 30th VLSI Test Symposium (VTS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133355279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss a new approach for protecting the secrecy of internal information in an Integrated Circuit (IC) from malicious hardware Trojan threats and, thereby, enhancing hardware trust. The proposed approach is based on Register Transfer Level (RTL) code certification within a formal logic environment. The key novelty lies in the introduction of a new semantic model for the Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) in the Coq theorem-proving platform, which facilitates tracking and proving secrecy labels of internal sensitive data and, by extension, security properties of the design. Additional framework enhancements include the ability to encapsulate sub-module properties in the top module proof environment, thereby strengthening the ability of Coq representation to reason on hierarchically organized RTL code. We demonstrate the proposed framework on a DES encryption core, wherein we employ it to prevent secret information (e.g. round keys) leaking by hardware Trojans inserted at the RTL description of the circuit.
我们讨论了一种保护集成电路(IC)内部信息的保密性免受恶意硬件木马威胁的新方法,从而增强了硬件信任。所提出的方法是基于在形式化逻辑环境中的寄存器传输层(RTL)代码认证。关键的新颖之处在于在Coq定理证明平台中为Verilog硬件描述语言(HDL)引入了一种新的语义模型,该模型有助于跟踪和证明内部敏感数据的保密标签,并扩展到设计的安全属性。额外的框架增强功能包括在顶层模块证明环境中封装子模块属性的能力,从而增强了Coq表示对分层组织的RTL代码进行推理的能力。我们在DES加密核心上演示了所提出的框架,其中我们使用它来防止在电路的RTL描述处插入的硬件木马泄露秘密信息(例如圆密钥)。
