N2 - Open faults are difficult to test since the voltage at the floating line is unpredicted and depends on the voltage at the adjacent lines. The modeling for open faults with considering adjacent lines has been proposed in [10]. In this work, the 90 nm IC is designed and fabricated to evaluate how the voltage at adjacent lines affect the defective line. The open fault macros with a transmission gate and with an intentional break are included in the IC. The nine lines are placed in parallel in three layers to observe the effect of the coupling capacitance when an open occurs. The benchmark circuits with the open fault macro are also included in the IC. The simulation and experimental results show that the relationship between the floating line and the adjacent lines. The experimental results are also compared with the open fault model that calculate the weighted sum of voltages at the adjacent lines.
