“…The total Miller capacitance for a transistor can be as large as the total gate-oxide capacitance depending on the region the transistor is operating.

Section: Feedback Via Miller Capacitancementioning
Shorts and opens are the most common types of catastrophic defects in today's CMOS ICs. In this paper we show that an open in the interconnect wiring of a digital CMOS circuit, which permanently disconnects inputs of logic gates from their driver, can cause oscillation or sequential behavior. We present supporting experimental data collected by creating an interconnect open in a manufactured chip. We also show that the conditions for oscillation and sequential behavior are likely to occur in many interconnect opens.

W e present a new fault simulation algorithm for realistic break faults in the p-networks and n-networks of static CMOS cells. We show that Miller eects can invalidate a test just as charge sharing can, and we present a new charge-based approach that eciently and accurately predicts the worst case eects of Miller capacitances and charge sharing together. Results on running our fault simulator on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits are provided. the broken paths in the p-network and no other path. Activating a path means applying ON voltages to the gates of all the transistors on the path. The second vector will make the faulty cell output high impedance with GND as its initial
