Using target faults to detect non-target defects
Li-C. Wang, M. Ray Mercer, T.W. Williams · 2002
The traditional ATPG method relies upon faults to target all defects. Since faults do not model all possible defects, testing quality depends on the fortuitous detection of non-target defects. By analyzing different ATPG approaches, this paper intends to identify critical factors that may greatly affect the fortuitous detection. For enhancing the fortuitous detection of non-target defects through target faults, new concepts and novel ATPG methods are proposed.
