Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In recent high-density, high-speed and low-power VLSIs, soft errors frequently occur, and soft error hardened design becomes essential. Soft error hardened latches were proposed as one of techniques correcting soft errors occurring on latches in VLSI systems. Some manufacturing faults occurring on the soft error hardened latches are untestable. Even if such faults occur, the latches work correctly as long as no soft errors occur. However, the faulty latches may have only lower soft error correcting capability than fault-free latches. This paper provides an analysis of soft error correcting capability of soft error hardened latches that untestable manufacturing open and short faults occur. On soft error hardened latches that open and short fault occur, uncorrectable soft errors occur 8.663×10-17and 9.789×10-17times per an hour, respectively. The probability that uncorrectable soft errors occur on faulty circuits with soft error hardened latches is 10-4~10-5 times lower than one that soft errors occur on fault-free circuits without soft error hardened latches.
