Abstract:
Techniques relate to an interactive logic diagnostic process. A diagnostic iteration loop is performed. When a critical failure does not have the diagnostic resolution that meets a predefined diagnostic resolution, potential faults related to the critical failure are isolated. When the critical failure has a diagnostic resolution that meets the predefined diagnostic resolution, the diagnostic iteration loop ends. Path focused fault test patterns are applied to the device under test in order to generate updated results of the path focused fault test patterns, such that the diagnostic resolution has been increased because a number of the potential faults related to the critical failure has decreased, and/or a size of a physical area of the potential faults related to the critical failure has decreased. The diagnostic iteration loop is returned to.

Claim (Index 20):
A computer system for testing an integrated circuit, the system comprising:\n a memory; and a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, the computer system configured to perform a method comprising: executing test patterns on the integrated circuit in order to generate results; determining that a critical failure has occurred in the integrated circuit from the results in which the critical failure does not have a diagnostic resolution that meets a predefined diagnostic resolution; and in response to the critical failure not meeting the predefined diagnostic resolution, executing path focused fault test patterns on the integrated circuit in order to generate updated results, the updated results defining that that the diagnostic resolution has been increased based on a selection from the group consisting of: a decrease in a number of potential faults related to the critical failure, and a decrease in a size of a physical area of the potential faults related to the critical failure.
