Measurement and analysis of physical defects for dynamic supply current testing

We present an iDDT fault analysis study based on physical measurements of circuits with built-in defects. A variety of defects were inserted into basic circuit components. The measured results were utilized to better model the effect of defects on iDDT and improve simulated fault models.
