In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective technique for static and dynamic power reduction in the scan test process. The leakage current is restrained by selecting a good primary input vector to control the paths of leakage current in the scan shift process. The proposed method is simulated by SPICE with BPTM 22nm technology, and the results show that on the average 15% total power reduction is achievable by the proposed method. By our analysis, because of large amount of the inverters, and no matter in which input signal the leakage current of an inverter is quite large, so the reduced amount of average power is restrained.
