Small delay caused by a resistive open is difficult to test since circuit delay varies depending on various factors such as process variations and crosstalk even in fault-free circuits. We consider the problem of discriminating a resistive open by anomaly detection using delay distributions obtained by the effect of various input signals provided to adjacent lines. We examined the circuit delay in a fault-free circuit and a faulty circuit by applying electromagnetic simulator and circuit simulator for a line structure with adjacent lines under consideration of process variations. The effectiveness of the method that discriminates a resistive open is shown for the results obtained by the simulation.
