Testing and Testable Design of ICs

Introduction
The testing of complex VLSI circuits poses many technical challenges. This project is aimed at enhancing all aspects of testing of ICs including test generation, fault coverage and design for testability. Recent results include CMOS, BiCMOS and ECL logic gate design techniques for enhanced testability, resolution enhancement of IDDQ testing, the design of sensors for IDDQ testing, and design of IDDQ test able random access memories. Present research involves test generation for IDDQ testing, use of IDDQ testing for submicron designs, as well as the use of antirandom tests for combinational and sequential circuits.
This project is done in collaboration with Prof. Y. K. Malaiya in the Computer Science Department at the Colorado State University.
