  • Abstract
    The aliasing probability is theoretically analyzed for a mask ROM containing a word/bit-line fault or faults within a mat. Analysis of 1000 faulty mask ROM chips revealed cell faults, word-line faults, bit-line faults, delay faults and other types. For these chips, the BIST aliasing errors were experimentally examined. Six MISRs were implemented on a custom board, and aliasing errors were actually observed. The best of the six is shown to be the 16-stage, 8-input MISR with no aliasing error
