Recently, a basic RM (rescue-&-mask) test generation scheme was proposed for guaranteeing capture safety rather than merely reducing LSA to some extent. This paper extends the basic RM scheme to broadcast-scan-based test compression by uniquely solving two test-compression-induced problems, namely (1) input X-bit insufficiency (i.e., fewer input X-bits are available for LSA reduction due to test compression) and (2) output X-bit impact (i.e., output X-bits may reduce fault coverage due to test response compaction). This leads to the broadcast-RM (broadcast-scan-based rescue-&-mask) test generation scheme. Evaluations on large benchmark circuits and an industrial circuit of about 1M gates clearly demonstrate that this novel scheme can indeed guarantee capture safety in at-speed scan testing with broadcast-scan-based test compression while minimizing its impact on both test quality and test costs., 2013 26th International Conference on VLSI Design, 5-10 January 2013, Pune, India}, pages = {279--284}, title = {On Guaranteeing Capture Safety in At-Speed Scan Testing with Broadcast-Scan-Based Test Compression}, year = {2013}, yomi = {オン, ギョウセイ and ミヤセ, コウヘイ and カジハラ, セイジ} }
