Vias are critical for digital circuit manufacturing, as they represent a common defect location, and a general DfM rule suggests replicating every instance for redundancy. When this is not achievable, a mandatory requirement is that the remaining single vias must be tested. We propose an automated method for generating tests and accurately evaluating test coverage of such defects, ready for use in any digital implementation flow and for integration within EDA tools, and also providing a useful quality metric.

Abstract
Vias are critical for digital circuit manufacturing, as they represent a common defect location, and a general DfM rule suggests replicating every instance for redundancy. When this is not achievable, a mandatory requirement is that the remaining single vias must be tested. We propose an automated method for generating tests and accurately evaluating test coverage of such defects, ready for use in any digital implementation flow and for integration within EDA tools, and also providing a useful quality metric. A prototype tool implementation and experimental results for an industrial case study are presented.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
