Software-based diagnosis analyzes the observed response of a failing circuit to pinpoint potential defect locations and deduce their respective behaviors. It plays a crucial role in finding the root cause of failure, and subsequently facilitates yield analysis, learning and optimization. This paper describes a twophase, physically-aware diagnosis methodology called LearnX to improve the quality of diagnosis, and in turn the quality of design, test and manufacturing. The first phase attempts to diagnose a defect that manifests as a well-established fault behavior (e.g., stuck or bridge fault models). The second phase uses machine learning to build a model (separate for each defect type) that learns the characteristics of defect candidates to distinguish correct candidates from incorrect ones. Results from 30,000 fault injection experiments indicate that LearnX returns an ideal diagnosis result (i.e., a single candidate correctly representing the injected fault) for 73.2% of faulty circuits, which is 86.6% higher than state-of-the-art commercial diagnosis. Silicon experiments further demonstrate the value of LearnX.more » « less
