Abstract

Temperature has proven to be an effectivestress condition, commonly used to stress memory devicesand to detect special types of failure mechanisms. In thispaper, a new approach is presented where temperature isused as a test parameter to increase the fault coverageof specific tests. This is done using defect injection andsimulation of a memory model at different temperatures.The analysis presents new types of detection conditions formemories and evaluates the impact of temperature on theseconditions.
