Abstract

This paper presents a quantitative delay fault coverage model to provide a figure of merit for delay testing. System sensitivity of a path to a delay fault along that path and the effectiveness of a delay test are described in terms of the propagation delay of the path under test and the delay defect size. A new statistical delay fault coverage (SDFC) model is established. A new defect level model is also proposed as a function of the yield of a manufacturing process and the new statistical delay fault coverage.
