Abstract
Various aspects of the disclosed technology relate to techniques of logic diagnosis based on cell-aware diagnostic pattern generation. A first diagnosis process is performed on a failed integrated circuit based on a first fail log to generate a first set of defect suspects. The first fail log is generated by applying the first set of test patterns to the failed integrated circuit in a first scan-based test. A second set of test patterns are generated using fault models for internal defects in one or more cells included in the first set of defect suspects. The second set of test patterns are applied to the failure integrated circuit to generate a second fail log. A second diagnosis process is performed on the failure integrated circuit based on the second fail log.
