Abstract
Bridging faults have been shown to be a major failure mode in CMOS IC´s [SHE85]. A model that takes into account the different resistance values of the bridge is presented. This model is used to estimate the IDDQ range of values to evaluate the possibility of current testing of this fault [NIG90]. A simple circuit is used as an example. This methodology is demonstrated to provide a greater domain of detectability of bridging faults than the classical approaches.
