Disclosed below are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and
systems for generating test patterns having an increased ability to
detect untargeted defects. In one exemplary embodiment, for instance, one
or more deterministic test values for testing targeted faults (e.g.,
stuck-at faults or bridging faults) in an integrated circuit design are
determined. Additional test values that increase detectability of one or
more untargeted defects during testing are determined. One or more test
patterns are created that include at least a portion of the deterministic
test values and at least a portion of the additional test values.
Computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions for
causing a computer to perform any of the disclosed methods or comprising
test patterns generated by any of the disclosed embodiments are also
disclosed.
