A parallel test Algorithm and design for built in self test (BIST) architecture to test the crosstalk faults in clustered arrays of TSVs (through silicon via) in 3DICs (Three dimensional Integrated Circuits) is discussed in this paper. Design of Modified Flexible Boundary scan cells to transfer the outputs to the functional cores or to the Output response analyzers (ORA) or signature analysers is proposed. Algorithm state machine (ASM) based design of BIST controller to generate the control and timing signals for launch and capture of test patterns is discussed. Parallel outputs capturing and signature generation mechanism is designed to reduce the time complexity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
