Abstract :
Physical defects cause behaviors unmodeled by even the best fault simulators, which complicates predictive diagnosis. This paper reports on a diagnosis procedure that uses modified composite signatures constructed from single stuck-at information combined with a lexicographic matching and ranking algorithm. The diagnosis procedure is used to perform high-quality bridging fault diagnosis for more than 400,000 diagnostic experiments involving dropping or adding behaviors from the simulations of faulty circuits
