Abstract:
Systems and methods disclosed include receiving defect data from a test of a semiconductor device comprising a circuit, the circuit comprising a cell, the cell comprising a first input, a second input and an output, and modeling a first plurality of cell defect modes of the cell with a first multiple input transition cell fault model (MTCFM), the cell defect modes associated with a first signal transition on the first input, and a second signal transition on the second input or the output. Systems and method further include correlating the first plurality of cell defect modes to the defect data to produce a probability of each of the first plurality of cell defect modes matching the defect data, and providing, to a user, an indication of each of at least one of the first plurality of cell defect modes having the probability exceeding a defect probability threshold.
