Using target faults to detect non-target defects

Abstract
The traditional ATPG method relies upon faults to target all defects. Since faults do not model all possible defects, testing quality depends on the fortuitous detection of non-target defects. By analyzing different ATPG approaches, this paper intends to identify critical factors that may greatly affect the fortuitous detection. For enhancing the fortuitous detection of non-target defects through target faults, new concepts and novel ATPG methods are proposed.
