- CARAFE: AN INDUCTIVE FAULT ANALYSIS TOOL FOR CMOS VLSI CIRCUITS

- Abstract: Traditional fault models for testing CMOS VLSI circuits
- do not take into account the actual mechanisms that precipitate faults.
- As a result, the failure modes of a circuit as predicted by these
- fault models may not reflect the realistic failure modes of the
- circuit.
- This thesis reports on the Carafe software which
- determines the realistic bridge faults of the CMOS circuit based on
- its layout. Each fault found by Carafe is assigned a relative
- probability based on the geometry of the fault site and defect
- distributions of the fabrication process. Carafe improves upon
- previous software in that it is easier to use, more robust, and
- more time and memory efficient so that larger circuits can be
- analyzed.
- Keywords: Fault models, VLSI testing, CMOS, inductive fault analysis.
