  • Abstract
    IDDQ, testing has become a widely accepted defect detection technique in CMOS ICs. However its effectiveness in deep submicron is threatened by the increased transistor sub-threshold leakage current. In this paper a new lDDQ testing scheme is proposed based on the use of a compensation circuit. The compensation circuit is used to eliminate, during testing, normal leakage current from the sensing node of the circuit under test so that already known [in the open literature] IDDQ sensing techniques can be applied in deep submicron
