We propose a method to diagnose interconnect short-circuit faults in mesh 7oCs. The fault model comprises all shorts between any two wires of a defined 7oC neighborhood. Test sequences are applied in 7oC functional mode. Experimental results show that 93% of the interconnect shorts can be diagnosed.
