This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of a new testing methodology to enhance the detection of internal defects in state-of-the-art integrated circuits. The research project aims to generate compact and efficient tests that can comprehensively cover a wide range of resistive defects within individual circuit cells, as well as capture the timing impact of a single defect across interconnected cells. This innovative approach avoids the limitations of current cell-aware test generation techniques, which rely on exhaustive circuit simulations. By employing analytical reasoning instead, the new testing methodology promises to significantly improve the reliability and affordability of future computing systems that are increasingly pervasive in societal applications and critical for national defense. The award has been deemed worthy of NSF support through its Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts review criteria, and the research will also contribute to training new students in this strategic area.
