Recent research has characterized a class of faults, calledprimitive faults, that must be tested to insure timing correctnessof digital circuits. Experimental results have shownthat a large fraction of primitive faults usually have onlynon-robust tests. In this paper, we propose a method of improvingrobust coverage of primitive faults using test pointinsertion. An important feature of the proposed method isthat instead of considering primitive faults explicitly, singlefaults are analyzed to determine whether they can be membersof robustly testable primitive faults. If not, test pointsare specified to make any primitive fault containing suchfaults robustly testable. Results of experiments to determinethe effectiveness of the proposed method show significantimprovements in fault coverage.
