Unfortunately, it is a very CPU intensive task even though it maintains the high accuracy. Therefore, High Level Fault Modeling (HLFM) and High Level Fault Simulation (HLFS) are required in order to alleviate the efforts of simulation. In this paper, different HLFM approaches are reviewed at the device level during last two decades. We clarify their domains of application and evaluate their strengths and current limitations. We also analyze causes of faults and introduce various test approaches. © 2010 Science Press, Institute of Electronics, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. publisher: Science Press date: 2010 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Xia, L. and Ian, B. and Antony, W.
