Abstract
The paper presents a method of VLSI circuits testing using thermal phenomen on. The method is based on an original algorithm of placing temperature sen sors on the chip surface and analysing temperature measurement results. The method enables both failure detection and location. Examples and results o f analyses are presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserve d.
