As the process of integrated circuits continues to iterate,
bridge defects appear more frequently due to the increase in the density
of wires. In order to efficiently cover more bridge defects in testing,
a test method for bridge defects between standard cells based on layout
and routing information is proposed in this paper. Bridge defects at two
locations, between interconnecting wires outside cells and between
neighboring cells, are targeted by the method using layout and routing
information, and corresponding fault models are generated to obtain
high-quality test patterns. Test efficiency is further improved by a
strategy for generating cell pairs based on the length of the high-risk
region of bridges and a method for selecting the resistance value of
bridge defects based on the distribution of the number of faults.
Experimental results show that compared to the four-way bridge test
method, the method improves the test coverage by about
; compared to the previously proposed dual-cell test method, the method
improves the test coverage by about
and reduces the time cost by about
