In this paper we motivate the explicit validation of hold-time violations in silicon and propose a method for doing so. New holdtime failure model and test pattern generation methodologies are defined. We outline conditions under which these tests can be applied reliably. We present results of applying these test patterns on a microprocessor and discuss the implications of intermittent failures on the relevance of hazards during timing analysis
