  • Abstract
    Technological advances in design and process have led to questions being raised about the applicability of IDDQ testing. The main concern is the inability to differentiate between normal and faulty quiescent currents in ICs. In this paper, we propose a new methodology aimed at addressing this concern through the application of clustering techniques to identify ICs with abnormal IDDQ values. Preliminary results of applying this technique in production test are also presented
