   abstract = {F{\"u}r Speicherfelder sind fehlerkorrigiernde Codes die vorherrschende Methode um
      akzeptable Fehlerraten zu erreichen. In vielen aktuellen Schaltungen erreicht
      die Zahl der Speicherelemente in freier Logik die Gr{\"o}{\ss}enordnung der Zahl von
      SRAM-Zellen vor wenigen Jahren. Zur Reduktion der Verlustleistung wird h{\"a}ufig
      der Takt der pegelgesteuerten Speicherelemente unterdr{\"u}ckt und die
      Speicherlemente m{\"u}ssen ihren Zustand {\"u}ber lange Zeitintervalle halten. Die
      Notwendigkeit der Absicherung der Speicherzellen wird zus{\"a}tzlich durch die
      Miniaturisierung verst{\"a}rkt, die zu einer erh{\"o}hten Empfindlichkeit der
      Speicherelemente gef{\"u}hrt hat.
      
      Dieser Artikel stellt eine Methode zur fehlertoleranten Anordnung von
      pegelgesteuerten Speicherelementen vor, die bei unterdr{\"u}cktem Takt
      Einfachfehler lokalisieren und Mehrfachfehler detektieren kann. Bei aktiviertem
      Takt k{\"o}nnen Einfach- und Mehrfachfehler erkannt werden. Die Register k{\"o}nnen
      {\"a}hnlich wie Pr{\"u}fpfade effizient in den Entwurfsgang integriert werden. Die
      Diagnoseinformation kann auf Modulebene leicht berechnet und genutzt werden.},

      Ein reines Strukturmodell der Hardware erlaubt, den Einfluss von logischer und

   abstract = {Error correcting coding is the dominant technique to achieve acceptable
      soft-error rates in memory arrays. In many modern circuits, the number of
      memory elements in the random logic is in the order of the number of SRAM cells
      on chips only a few years ago. Often latches are clock gated and have to retain
      their states during longer periods. Moreover, miniaturization has led to
      elevated susceptibility of the memory elements and further increases the need
      for protection. This paper presents a fault-tolerant register latch
      organization that is able to detect single-bit errors while it is clock gated.
      With active clock, single and multiple errors are detected. The registers can
      be efficiently integrated similar to the scan design flow, and error detecting
      or locating information can be collected at module level. The resulting
      structure can be efficiently reused for offline and general online testing.},

      unused scan chains. The results obtained with this method strongly depend on
      the mapping of scan flip-flops into scan chains, which determines how many

      flip-flops into scan chains is presented, which minimizes the power consumption

   abstract = {Hardening a circuit against soft errors should be performed in early design
      steps before the circuit is laid out. A viable approach to achieve soft error
      rate (SER) reduction at a reasonable cost is to harden only parts of a circuit.
      When selecting which locations in the circuit to harden, priority should be
      given to critical spots for which an error is likely to cause a system
      malfunction. The criticality of the spots depends on parameters not all
      available in early design steps. We employ a selection strategy which takes
      only gate-level information into account and does not use any low-level
      electrical or timing information. We validate the quality of the solution using
      an accurate SER estimator based on the new UGC particle strike model. Although
      only partial information is utilized for hardening, the exact validation shows
      that the susceptibility of a circuit to soft errors is reduced significantly.
      The results of the hardening strategy presented are also superior to known
      purely topological strategies in terms of both hardware overhead and
      protection.},

   abstract = {Dealing with static and dynamic parameter variations has become a major
      challenge for design and test. To avoid unnecessary yield loss and to ensure
      reliable system operation a robust design has become mandatory. However,
      standard structural test procedures still address classical fault models and
      cannot deal with the non-deterministic behavior caused by parameter variations
      and other reasons. Chips may be rejected, even if the test reveals only
      non-critical failures that could be compensated during system operation. This
      paper introduces a scheme for embedded test, which can distinguish critical
      permanent and noncritical transient failures for circuits with time redundancy.
      To minimize both yield loss and the overall test time, the scheme relies on
      partitioning the test into shorter sessions. If a faulty signature is observed
      at the end of a session, a rollback is triggered, and this particular session
      is repeated. An analytical model for the expected overall test time provides
      guidelines to determine the optimal parameters of the scheme.},
