In recent, the contactless IC card is widely used in traffic, access control system and so forth. And its use becomes a general tendency more and more because of the development of RF technology and improvement of requirement for user convenience. This paper describes the hardware module to process contactless protocol for implementation contactless IC card. And the hardware module consists of specific digital logic circuits that analyze digital signal from analog circuit and then generate data & status signal for CPU, and that convert the data from CPU into digital signal for analog circuit.

We newly developed the procedures of X-ray Cargo inspection system with acquisition of multi-channel data, analog to digital converter and post logic circuit which is controlled by the FPGA. The IEEE1149.1 standard defines a four-wire serial interface(a fifth wire is optional)to access complex integrated circuits(ICs) such as PLD. This paper describes that Boundary_Scan test method applied to our home made cargo inspection system.

The drain current of the MOSFET in the off state(i.e., Id when Vgs=0V) is undesired but nevertheless important leakage current device parameter in many digital CMOS IC applications (including DRAMs, SRAMs, dynamic logic circuits, and portable systems). The standby power consumed by devices in the off state have added to the total power consumed by the IC, increasing heat dissipation problems in the chip. In this paper, hot-carrier-induced degra- dation and gate-induced-drain-leakage curr- ent under worse case in P-MOSFET\`s have been studied. First of all, the degradation of gate-induced- drain-leakage current due to electron/hole trapping and surface electric field in off state MOSFET\`s which has appeared as an additional constraint in scaling down p-MOSFET\`s. The GIDL current in p-MOSFET\`s was decreased by hot-electron stressing, because the trapped charge were decreased surface-electric-field. But the GIDL current in n-MOS77T\`s under worse case was increased.

In delay-optimized designs, timing failures due to manufacturing delay defects are more likely to occur because the average timing slacks of paths decrease and the system becomes more sensitive to smaller delay defect sizes. In this paper, the impact of delay optimized logic circuits on delay fault testing will be discussed and compared to the case for non-optimized designs. First, we provide a timing optimization procedure and show that the resultant density function of path delays is a delta function. Next we also discuss the impact of timing optimization on the yield of a manufacturing process and the defect level for delay faults. Finally, we will give some recommendations on the determination of the system clock time so that the delay-optimized design will have the same manufacturing yield as the non-optimized design and on the determination of delay fault coverage in the delay-optimized design in order to have the same defect-level for delay faults as the non-optimized design, while the system clock time is the same for both designs.

고밀도 집적회로(VLSI)의 설계 과정에 있어 테스트(test)는 매우 중요한 과정으로서, 회로내의 결함(fault)을 찾기 위해 일련의 입력값을 넣어 그 출력값으로 고장 여부를 판단한다. 회로의 테스트를 위하여 사용되는 일련의 입력값을 테스트패턴(test pattern)이라 하며 최고 2n개의 테스트패턴이 생성될 수 있다. 그러므로 얼마나 작은 테스트패턴을 사용하여 회로의 결함 여부를 판단하느냐가 주된 관점이 된다. 기존의 테스트 패턴 생성 알고리즘인 휴리스틱(heuristic)조건에서 가장 큰 문제점은 빈번히 발생하는 백트랙(backtrack)과 이로 인한 시간과 기억장소의 낭비이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해 퍼지 기법을 이용한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 고장신호 전파과정에서 여러개의 전파경로가 존재할 때, 가장 효율적인 경로를 선택하는 단계에서 퍼지 관계곱(Fuzzy Relational Product)을 이용한다. 이 퍼지 기법은 백트랙 수를 줄이고 기억장소와 시간의 낭비를 줄여 테스트 패턴 생성의 효율을 증가시킨다.

In this paper we propose the search algorithm of the boundary nodes that defined as the circuit segmentation when CUT is tested by pseudo-exhaustive testing. The algorithm treats the testability values of the nodes in CUT as the population composed of teh raw data, and after examines the level of significance a and then estimate the confidence interval of teh testability values. Thus One can easily searched the c9oundary nodes and PO of sub circuits. The proposed algorithm has been implemented under UNIX OS with C-language, applied to the combinational logic CUT. As a result, it is shown that the pseudo-exhaustive test patterns are least generated when \ulcornerhas 0.786. We confirmed that the rate of test pattern is 1.22%, compared with exhaustive test.

The railway signaling system consists of microcomputerized vital devices on board and ground, which are connected to one another by track circuits, and interlocking equipment for route control, The software plays a major role in these microcomputer-based vital systems. Therefore it is important to design the software and validate the required levels of safety and reliability To verify the conditions and functions of signaling logic, the laboratory prototype test bench, which consists of personal computers, VME system and Ethernet LAN, will be developed. In this paper general design of signaling system test bench for high-speed rail is described and some developed subprogram is presented.

The impact of LDD structure on the single-poly EEPROMs is investigated in this paper. The single-poly EEPROMs are fabricated using the 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS ASIC process. The single-poly EEPROMs with LDD structure have slower program and erase speeds, but the drain and gate stresses and the endurance characteristics of these devices are much better than those of the single-poly EEPROMs with single-drain structure. The single-poly EEPROMs with LDD structure do not require the process modifications and need no additional masks, hence can be used for microprocessors and logic circuits with low-density and low-cost embedded EEPROMs.

This paper presents the implementation of comparator which is self-testing with respect to the faults caused by any single physical defect likely to occur in NMOS and CMOS integrated circuit. The goal is to use it for the fault-tolerant system. First, a new fault model for PLA(Programmable Logic Array) is presented. This model reflects several physical defects in VLSI circuits. It focuses on the designs based on PLA because VLSI chips are far too complex to allow detailed analysis of all the possible physical defects that can occur and of the effects on the operation of the circuit. Second, this paper shows that these design, which has been implemented with 2 level AND-ORor NOR-NOR circuit, are optimal in term of size. And it also presents a formal proof that a comparator implemented using NOR-NOR PLA, based on these design, is sol f-testing with respect to most single faults in the presented fault model. Finally, it discusses the application of the self-testing comparator as a building block for the implementation of the fault-tolerant system.
