A heuristic fault based optimization approach to reduce test vectors count in VLSI testing
In this work we have proposed a heuristic approach to reduce the test vector count during VLSI testing of standard ISCAS circuits. With the shrinking die-space and increasing circuitry on a single Integrated circuit, the number of test vectors required ...
