Abstract :
In this paper we demonstrate an Inductive Contamination Analysis (ICA)-based methodology for complete fault characterization of standard cell libraries. Such a characterization has applications in accurate assessment of defect coverage, contamination diagnosis, gate-level delay characterization and test generation
