Popis: Per-test diagnosis based on the X-fault model is an effective approach for a circuit with physical defects of nondeterministic logic behavior. However, the extensive use of vias and the unpredictable order relation among threshold voltages at fanout branches, both being typical phenomena in a deep-submicron circuit, have not been fully addressed by conventional per-test X-fault diagnosis. To solve these problems, this paper proposes an improved per-test X-fault diagnosis method, featuring (1) an extended X-fault model to handle vias and (2) occurrence probabilities of logic behavior for a physical defect to handle the unpredictable relation among threshold voltages. Experimental result show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
