Fast and efficient analysis of test chips is crucial for effective yield learning. Prior work proposed the Carnegie-Mellon logic characterization vehicle (CM-LCV) as an improved test chip for yield learning. The highly regular nature of the CM-LCV test chip is particularly appealing for BIST; the current work describes a BIST scheme that achieves 100% input-pattern fault coverage with an 86.9% reduction in test time for a reference design. Furthermore, all of these properties are achieved with a minimal hardware overhead.

Functional test generation and design validation frequently use stochastic methods for vector generation. However, for circuits with narrow paths or random-resistant corner cases, purely random techniques can fail to produce adequate results. Deterministic techniques can aid this process; however, they add significant computational complexity. This paper presents a Register Transfer Level (RTL) abstraction technique to derive relationships between inputs and path activations. The abstractions are built off of various program slices. Using such a variety of abstracted RTL models, we attempt to find patterns in the reduced state and input with their resulting branch activations. These relationships are then applied to guide stimuli generation in the concrete model. Experimental results show that this method allows for fast convergence on hard-to-reach states and achieves a performance increase of up to 9× together with a reduction of test lengths compared to previous hybrid search techniques.
功能测试生成和设计验证经常使用随机方法生成向量。然而,对于具有狭窄路径或抗随机拐角情况的电路,纯随机技术可能无法产生足够的结果。确定性技术可以帮助这一过程;然而,它们增加了显著的计算复杂性。本文提出了一种寄存器传输层(RTL)抽象技术来推导输入和路径激活之间的关系。抽象是基于不同的程序片段构建的。使用各种抽象的RTL模型,我们试图找到简化状态下的模式,并输入它们产生的分支激活。然后应用这些关系来指导具体模型中的刺激生成。实验结果表明,与以前的混合搜索技术相比,该方法可以在难以到达的状态上快速收敛,性能提高了9倍,同时减少了测试长度。

In this paper we describe a novel scheme for collecting and analyzing a chip's failure signature. Incorrect outputs of digital chips are forced by applying scan patterns under non-destructive stress conditions. From binary mismatch responses collected in continue-on-fail mode, numeric data features are formed by grouping and counting mismatches in each group, thus defining a chip's “analog” failure signature. We use machine learning to explore prediction models of system-level test (SLT) failures by comparing signatures of chip samples from known SLT pass/fail bins. Important features that clearly separate the SLT pass/fail chips are identified. Experimental results are presented for a 28-nm 1.2-GHz quad-core low-power processor.
本文提出了一种收集和分析芯片故障信号的新方案。在非破坏性应力条件下应用扫描模式会导致数字芯片输出错误。从以持续故障模式收集的二进制错配响应中,通过对每组错配进行分组和计数,形成数字数据特征,从而定义芯片的“模拟”故障特征。我们使用机器学习来探索系统级测试(SLT)故障的预测模型,通过比较来自已知SLT通过/失败箱的芯片样本的特征。明确区分SLT通过/失败芯片的重要特性。给出了一种28纳米1.2 ghz四核低功耗处理器的实验结果。

Current production testing of CMOS imager sensors is mainly based on capturing images and detecting failures by image processing with special algorithms. The fault coverage of this costly optical test is not sufficient given the quality requirements. Studies on devices produced at large volume have shown that Horizontal Fixed Pattern Noise (HFPN) is one of the common image failures encountered on products that present fault coverage problems, and this is the main cause of customer returns for many products. A detailed analysis of failed devices has demonstrated that HFPN failures arise from changes of electronic circuit topology in pixel addressing decoders or the metal lines required for pixel powering and control. These changes are usually due to the presence of spot defects, causing some pixels in a row to operate incorrectly, leading to an HFPN failure. Moreover, defects resulting in partially degraded metal lines may not induce image failure in limited industrial test conditions, passing the optical tests. Later, these defects may produce an image failure in the field, either because the capture conditions would be more stringent, or because the defects would evolve into catastrophic faults due to electromigration. In this paper, we have first enhanced the HFPN detection algorithm in order to improve the fault coverage of the optical test. Next, a built-in self-test structure is presented for the on-chip detection of catastrophic and non-catastrophic defects in the pixel power and control lines.
目前CMOS成像仪传感器的生产测试主要是通过特殊算法对图像进行处理,捕获图像并检测故障。鉴于质量要求,这种昂贵的光学测试的故障覆盖率是不够的。对大批量生产的设备的研究表明,水平固定模式噪声(HFPN)是出现故障覆盖问题的产品上常见的图像故障之一,这是许多产品客户退货的主要原因。对故障器件的详细分析表明,HFPN故障是由像素寻址解码器中的电子电路拓扑或像素供电和控制所需的金属线的变化引起的。这些变化通常是由于斑点缺陷的存在,导致一行中的一些像素操作不正确,导致HFPN故障。此外,在有限的工业测试条件下,导致金属线部分退化的缺陷可能不会导致图像失效,从而通过光学测试。随后,这些缺陷可能会在现场产生成像故障,要么是因为捕获条件更加严格,要么是因为缺陷会由于电迁移而演变成灾难性故障。本文首先对HFPN检测算法进行了改进,以提高光学检测的故障覆盖率。其次,提出了一种内置自检结构,用于在片上检测像素电源和控制线中的灾难性和非灾难性缺陷。

Enabling unauthorized RF transmission below noise floor with no detectable impact on primary communication performance 使未经授权的射频传输低于噪声底,对主要通信性能没有可检测的影响

With increasing diversity of supply chains from design to delivery, there is an increasing risk of unauthorized changes within an IC. One of the motivations for this type change is to learn important information (such as encryption keys, spreading codes) from the hardware and pass this information to a malicious party through wireless means. In order to evade detection, such unauthorized communication can be hidden within legitimate bursts of transmit signal. In this paper, we present a stealth circuit for unauthorized transmissions which can be hidden within the legitimate signal. A CDMA-based spread spectrum with a CDMA encoder is implemented with a handful of transistors. We show that the unauthorized signal does not alter the circuit performance while being easily detectable by the malicious receiver.
随着从设计到交付的供应链越来越多样化,IC内部未经授权更改的风险越来越大。这种类型更改的动机之一是从硬件中学习重要信息(如加密密钥、传播代码),并通过无线方式将此信息传递给恶意方。为了逃避检测,这种未经授权的通信可以隐藏在合法的发射信号中。在本文中,我们提出了一种可以隐藏在合法信号中的未经授权传输的隐形电路。基于CDMA的扩频与CDMA编码器是由几个晶体管实现的。我们表明,未经授权的信号不会改变电路性能,同时很容易被恶意接收器检测到。

The technology shrinking strategy below 20nm feature sizes adopted by the giants of the nowadays semiconductor industry has boosted the research on FinFET which is considered as an alternative to the conventional planar technology. This paper presents a comprehensive study carried out for FinFET-based memories using an advanced flow for fault modeling and test algorithm generation. Using this flow it has been shown that parameter variation (of process, voltage, temperature, frequency) has a significant impact on the fault coverage when dealing with FinFET-specific faults.

Clock jitter is a crucial factor in high speed and high performance application. Traditional jitter measurement method relies on precise and expensive instrumentations. This paper proposes a low cost jitter measurement and separation method. Instead of using traditional time internal analysis equipment, a simple Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is used as the jitter measurement device. The clock under test is applied as the sampling clock of an ADC while the ADC is sampling a full scale sine wave. The ADC output contains the information of the clock jitter. The algorithm will separately detect the effects of Periodic Jitter, Dual-Dirac Jitter and Random Jitter, and accurately compute the rms value of each jitter component. This method offers great potential for wide use in low cost applications and especially in on-chip or on-board jitter measurement applications. Simulation results demonstrate the functionality, accuracy and robustness of the proposed low-cost jitter measurement method.
时钟抖动是影响高速高性能应用的关键因素。传统的抖动测量方法依赖于精密昂贵的仪器。提出了一种低成本的抖动测量与分离方法。采用简单的模数转换器(ADC)代替传统的时间内部分析设备作为抖动测量设备。当ADC对全量程正弦波进行采样时,将被测时钟作为ADC的采样时钟。ADC输出包含时钟抖动的信息。该算法将分别检测周期性抖动、双狄拉克抖动和随机抖动的影响,并精确计算每个抖动分量的均方根值。这种方法在低成本应用中具有广泛的应用潜力,特别是在片上或板上抖动测量应用中。仿真结果证明了所提出的低成本抖动测量方法的功能性、准确性和鲁棒性。

Test vector omission with minimal sets of simulated faults 具有最小模拟故障集的测试向量遗漏
Pub Date : 2015-04-27 DOI: 10.1109/VTS.2015.7116297
I. Pomeranz
Test vector omission is a static test compaction procedure for functional test sequences that removes unnecessary test vectors from a sequence. The test vector omission procedure requires fault simulation for every test vector (or subsequence) that it considers for omission. It was noted earlier that it is possible to reduce the set of simulated faults based on the clock cycles where the faults are detected. However, this reduction is effective only for the later test vectors of a sequence. This paper defines a minimal set of faults that need to be simulated for the omission of a test vector by considering, in addition to detection clock cycles, also clock cycles where test subsequences start. The former are computed by a conventional sequential fault simulation process. For the latter, the paper introduces a sequential reverse order fault simulation process, and an approximation with a reduced computational complexity. Experimental results show significant reductions in the run time for test vector omission without affecting the level of compaction.
测试向量省略是功能测试序列的静态测试压缩过程,它从序列中删除不必要的测试向量。测试向量省略过程需要对它考虑省略的每个测试向量(或子序列)进行故障模拟。前面提到,可以根据检测到故障的时钟周期减少模拟故障的集合。然而,这种减少只对序列的后期测试向量有效。本文通过考虑检测时钟周期和测试子序列开始的时钟周期,定义了由于遗漏测试向量而需要模拟的最小故障集。前者是通过传统的顺序故障模拟过程计算得到的。对于后者,本文引入了一种序列反序故障模拟过程,并采用了一种降低计算复杂度的近似方法。实验结果表明,在不影响压缩水平的情况下,测试向量省略显著减少了运行时间。

Advances in flow-based microfluidics allow biochemistry-on-a-chip for DNA sequencing, drug discovery, and point-of-care disease diagnosis. However, the adoption of flow-based biochips is hampered by defects that frequently occur in chips fabricated using soft lithography techniques. Fault diagnosis methods are now needed to improve fabrication processes and facilitate the (partial) use of chips that have defects. We present the first approach for the automated diagnosis of flow-based microfluidic biochips. The proposed method facilitates the identification of defects through syndrome analysis and a hitting-set problem formulation. The proposed technique is evaluated using three fabricated biochips, and exact defect localization and identification of the defect type is achieved in all cases.

Test compaction by test cube merging for four-way bridging faults 通过测试立方体合并来测试四路桥接故障的压实
Pub Date : 2015-04-27 DOI: 10.1109/VTS.2015.7116298
I. Pomeranz
Test compaction that accommodates the constraints of test data compression can be achieved by generating test cubes for target faults, and then merging the test cubes. This paper describes an improved test cube merging procedure for four-way bridging faults. The procedure is motivated by the prevalence of bridging defects and the fact that test sets for bridging faults are larger than test sets for single stuck-at faults. A four-way bridging fault gi/ai/hi models the case where a value ai of a line hi dominates the value of a line gi. A basic test cube merging procedure considers a set of test cubes Cdet that detects target faults. The paper extends the set of test cubes to include, in addition to Cdet, a set of test cubes Cdom that assign values to dominating lines. Test cubes from Cdom have significantly fewer specified values than test cubes from Cdet. When test cubes from Cdom are merged with test cubes from Cdet, each resulting test cube detects more faults, and fewer test cubes are needed for detecting the same set of target faults.
通过为目标错误生成测试数据集,然后合并测试数据集,可以实现适应测试数据压缩约束的测试压缩。本文介绍了一种改进的四路桥接故障测试立方体合并程序。该过程的动机是桥接缺陷的普遍存在,以及桥接故障的测试集比单个卡在故障的测试集大这一事实。四路桥接故障gi/ai/hi模拟了线路hi的值ai支配线路gi的值的情况。基本的测试多维数据集合并过程考虑检测目标错误的一组测试多维数据集Cdet。本文扩展了测试数据集,除了Cdet之外,还包括一组将值赋给支配线的测试数据集Cdom。来自Cdom的测试多维数据集的指定值明显少于来自Cdet的测试多维数据集。当来自Cdom的测试多维数据集与来自Cdet的测试多维数据集合并时,每个生成的测试多维数据集都会检测到更多的错误,而检测同一组目标错误所需的测试多维数据集则更少。
