We propose a new partial-scan algorithm, the first to use toggling rates of the flip-flops (analyzed using DSP methods) and Shannon entropy measures of flip-flops to select flip-flops for scan. This improves the testability of the circuit-under-test (CUT). Entropy is maximized throughout the circuit to maximize the information flow (the principle of maximum entropy), which improves testability. We propose using partial-scan for testing, to maximize fault coverage (FC), reduce test volume (TV), reduce test application time (TAT), and reduce test power (TP) but we allow for full-scan during silicon debug. Full-scan is commonly used for testing, to reduce sequential automatic test-pattern generation (ATPG) to the complexity of combinational ATPG, but comes with serious TV, TAT, and TP overheads. Partial-scan significantly reduces circuit delay, when compared to full-scan, because critical flip-flops in the circuit data path do not have the extra hardware for full-scan, and therefore are roughly 5% faster, and use 10% less area. This is particularly critical for microprocessors. The HITEC ATPG program generated results for this new partial-scan algorithm.
我们提出了一种新的部分扫描算法,首次使用触发器的切换率(使用DSP方法分析)和触发器的香农熵度量来选择进行扫描的触发器。这提高了被测电路(CUT)的可测试性。熵在整个电路中最大化,以最大化信息流(最大熵原理),这提高了可测试性。我们建议使用部分扫描进行测试,以最大限度地提高故障覆盖率(FC),减少测试量(TV),减少测试应用时间(TAT),并降低测试功率(TP),但我们允许在硅调试期间进行全扫描。全扫描通常用于测试,将顺序自动测试模式生成(ATPG)的复杂性降低到组合ATPG的复杂性,但会带来严重的TV、TAT和TP开销。与完全扫描相比,部分扫描显著降低了电路延迟,因为电路数据路径中的关键触发器没有进行完全扫描的额外硬件,因此大约快5%,并且使用的面积减少10%。这对微处理器来说尤其重要。HITEC ATPG程序生成了这种新的部分扫描算法的结果。

Protocol requirements in an SJTAG/IJTAG environment SJTAG/IJTAG环境中的协议需求

Integrated circuits, printed circuits boards, and multi-board systems are becoming increasingly complex to test. A major obstacle is test access, which would be eased by effective standards for the communication between devices-under-test (DUTs) and the test manager. Currently, the Internal Joint Test Access Group (IJTAG) work at micro-level on a standard for interfacing embedded on-chip instruments while the System JTAG (SJTAG) work at macro-level on a standard for system-level test management that connects IJTAG compatible instruments with the system test manager. In this paper we discuss requirements on a test protocol to be used in an SJTAG/ IJTAG environment. We have from a number of use scenarios made an analysis and defined protocol requirements. We have taken the Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL), which is built around a player (interpreter), and defined required extensions. The extensions have been implemented in an extended version of STAPL and we have made experiments with a PC acting as test controller and an FPGA being the DUT.
集成电路、印刷电路板和多板系统的测试变得越来越复杂。一个主要的障碍是测试访问,这将通过在测试设备(dut)和测试管理器之间的有效通信标准来缓解。目前,内部联合测试访问组(IJTAG)在微观层面上工作,制定嵌入式芯片上仪器的接口标准,而系统JTAG (SJTAG)在宏观层面上工作,制定系统级测试管理标准,将IJTAG兼容的仪器与系统测试管理器连接起来。本文讨论了在SJTAG/ IJTAG环境中使用的测试协议的需求。我们已经从许多使用场景中进行了分析并定义了协议需求。我们采用了围绕播放器(解释器)构建的标准测试和编程语言(STAPL),并定义了所需的扩展。这些扩展已经在STAPL的扩展版本中实现,我们已经用PC机作为测试控制器,FPGA作为被测设备进行了实验。

Today, reliability of electronic products is considered as the minimum requirement to ensure the functionality in a safe and reliable way over years. From the semiconductor sector, as the provider from high-integrated circuits, this trend, is one of the main challenges to ensure the reliability of the product, but much more to precisely predict the reliability of those products. austriamicrosystems very early recognized this trend and implemented the zero-defect program over all process steps from design to the end-of-the-life their product. In this paper an overview of the zero-defect program the achievements and the methods are described is shown.

Although on-product clock generation (OPCG) has been used for many years, often in conjunction with logic and memory BIST, it has usually been a very manual process to identify the cut-points and the OPCG behavior to ATPG tools so they can avoid dealing directly with the OPCG logic. To support programmable OPCG logic in an ASIC methodology flow required us to find a way to automate the handling of the OPCG logic and the various clocking sequences it can produce. This paper describes how we provide a means for dealing with the programmable aspects of OPCG for use during ATPG and shows some results.
虽然产品时钟生成(OPCG)已经使用多年,通常与逻辑和内存BIST结合使用,但通常是一个非常手动的过程,以确定切断点和OPCG行为到ATPG工具,因此他们可以避免直接处理OPCG逻辑。为了在ASIC方法流中支持可编程的OPCG逻辑,我们需要找到一种方法来自动处理OPCG逻辑和它可以产生的各种时钟序列。本文介绍了在ATPG中如何处理OPCG可编程方面的方法,并给出了一些结果。

This paper describes several different approaches to obtain test cost reduction, with emphasis on experimental results obtained for a class of ASICs, although the techniques are general. A review is given of some architectural approaches before giving details of techniques which address reduction in test time. The importance of the gathering and analysis of production data is highlighted with a view to better balance wafer and package tests, eliminate ineffective tests, truncate existing tests and carefully examine at which voltage a test should be run. Stress testing is also discussed with the goal of optimizing tests which are run before and after stress.

In sub-70 nm technologies, leakage power becomes a significant component of the total power. Designers address this concern by extensive use of adaptive voltage scaling techniques to reduce dynamic as well as leakage power. Low-power scan test schemes that have evolved in the past primarily address dynamic power reduction, and are less effective in reducing the total power. We propose a power-managed scan (PMScan) scheme which exploits the presence of adaptive voltage scaling logic to reduce test power. We also discuss some practical implementation challenges that arise when the proposed scheme is employed on industrial designs. Experimental results on benchmark circuits and industrial designs show a significant reduction in dynamic and leakage power. The proposed method can also be used as a vehicle to trade-off test application time with test power by suitably adjusting the scan shift frequency and scan-mode power supplies.
在70纳米以下的技术中,泄漏功率成为总功率的重要组成部分。设计人员通过广泛使用自适应电压缩放技术来降低动态和泄漏功率,从而解决了这一问题。过去发展的低功耗扫描测试方案主要解决动态功耗降低问题,并且在降低总功耗方面效果较差。我们提出一种功率管理扫描(PMScan)方案,该方案利用自适应电压缩放逻辑的存在来降低测试功率。我们还讨论了当所提出的方案用于工业设计时出现的一些实际实施挑战。基准电路和工业设计的实验结果表明,动态和泄漏功率显著降低。所提出的方法还可以通过适当调整扫描移位频率和扫描模式电源,作为权衡测试应用时间和测试功率的工具。

This paper presents a test data compression scheme that combines weighted random pattern testing and LFSR reseeding. Test patterns generated by the proposed decompressor can achieve high n-detection fault coverage. The proposed technique computes weight sets from a set of test cubes that are generated by a traditional 1-detection ATPG tool. The computed weight sets are modified to achieve high n-detection fault coverage. The proposed decompressor can be implemented with low area overhead. Since the proposed technique requires no special ATPG that is customized for the proposed scheme, it can compress test patterns generated by any ATPG tool and generate test patterns from the compressed test data that achieve high n-detection fault coverage. Experimental results show that test patterns generated by the proposed decompressor can achieve very high 5-detection stuck-at fault coverage and high compression for large benchmark circuits.

Power-aware test is increasingly becoming a major manufacturing test consideration due to the problems of increased power dissipation in various test modes as well as test implications that arise due to the usage of various low-power design technologies in devices today. Several challenges emerge for test engineers and test tool developers, including (and not restricted to) understanding of various concerns associated with power-aware test, development of power-aware design-for-test (DFT), automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) techniques, and test power analysis flows, evaluation of their efficacy and ensuring easy/rapid deployment. This paper highlights concerns and challenges in power-aware test, surveys various practices drawn from both academia and industry, and points out critical gaps that need to be addressed in the future.

Test-wrapper designs for the detection of signal-integrity faults on core-external interconnects of SoCs 用于检测soc核心-外部互连信号完整性故障的测试封装器设计
Pub Date : 2007-10-01 DOI: 10.1109/TEST.2007.4437572

As feature sizes continue to shrink for newer process technologies, signal integrity (SI) is emerging as a major concern for core-based system-on-a-chip (SoC) integrated circuits. To effectively test SI faults on core-external interconnects, core test wrappers need to be able to generate appropriate transitions at a wrapper output cell (WOC) on the driving side and detect the signal integrity loss at a wrapper input cell on the receiving side. In current wrapper designs, the WOCs for a victim interconnect and its aggressors make transitions at the same time with a common test clock signal in test mode, which is different from the functional mode. This is not adequate for SI test because the time elapsed between the transition of the victim and the transitions of its aggressors significantly affects the behavior of Si-related errors. To address this problem, we propose new IEEE Std. 1500-compliant wrapper designs that are able to apply SI test at functional mode or make transitions with various pre-defined skews between a victim line and its aggressors. We also introduce a novel overshoot detector inside the proposed wrapper. Experimental results show that the proposed wrapper designs are more effective for detecting Si-related errors when compared to existing techniques, with a moderate amount ofDFT overhead.
随着新工艺技术的特征尺寸不断缩小,信号完整性(SI)正成为基于核心的片上系统(SoC)集成电路的主要关注点。为了有效地测试核心-外部互连上的SI故障,核心测试封装器需要能够在驱动侧的封装输出单元(WOC)产生适当的转换,并检测接收侧封装输入单元的信号完整性损失。在目前的包装器设计中,受害者互连及其攻击者的woc在测试模式下与通用测试时钟信号同时进行转换,这与功能模式不同。这对于SI测试来说是不够的,因为受害者的转变和攻击者的转变之间的时间间隔会显著影响SI相关错误的行为。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了新的符合IEEE标准1500的包装器设计,能够在功能模式下应用SI测试,或者在受害者线和攻击者之间进行各种预定义的倾斜转换。我们还在提议的包装器中引入了一个新的超调检测器。实验结果表明,与现有技术相比,所提出的包装器设计在检测si相关错误方面更有效,并且具有适度的dft开销。

Experimental results show that the proposed wrapper designs are more effective for detecting Si-related errors when compared to existing techniques, with a moderate amount ofDFT overhead.","PeriodicalId":6403,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Test Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87480284","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 consider the problem of determining the location of open defects in interconnects of deep submicron (DSM) designs. The target defect sites for this work are the vias in interconnects which are known to be defect prone. It is known that in DSM designs below 90 nm technology the circuit parameters may vary widely from nominal or design values and process variations make them less predictable. Thus it becomes necessary to develop methods for locating defect sites without accurate knowledge of circuit parameters. Logic diagnosis which is based on gate level net lists is one such method but the resolution of defect sites obtained by logic diagnosis is considered to be unacceptably low for locating open vias. We investigate a procedure that uses minimal information beyond the net lists and give experimental results to demonstrate the defect resolution obtained using the method. The additional information used by the proposed method is a list of nodes in the neighborhoods of circuit nodes and the circuit layout. Specifically, difficult to determine circuit parameters of manufactured instances of a design such as coupling capacitances between circuit nodes and threshold voltages of gates in the circuit are not needed to use the proposed diagnosis procedure.
研究了深亚微米(DSM)互连中开放缺陷位置的确定问题。这项工作的目标缺陷点是互连中的过孔,这是已知的容易出现缺陷的地方。众所周知,在90纳米以下的DSM设计中,电路参数可能与标称值或设计值相差很大,工艺变化使其难以预测。因此,有必要开发不需要精确了解电路参数就能定位缺陷位置的方法。基于门级网表的逻辑诊断就是其中的一种方法,但是逻辑诊断得到的缺陷位置的解决率对于开孔的定位来说是非常低的。我们研究了一种使用网络列表之外的最小信息的过程,并给出了实验结果来证明使用该方法获得的缺陷解决。该方法使用的附加信息是电路节点邻域中的节点列表和电路布局。具体来说,不需要使用所提出的诊断程序来确定设计的制造实例的电路参数,例如电路节点之间的耦合电容和电路中门的阈值电压。
